One concept that still makes me grin is Mufti Day. I had NO idea what that was when I first saw it on Lana’s school calendar back in OZ. I know I’ve mentioned it before, but for those of you who missed it, mufti day is a day when kids are allowed to go in regular clothes to school. Remember, even public schools have uniforms here and in Australia. Typically it’s a fundraising day and the children pay a gold coin ($1 or $2) for the privilege to dress in their ‘street clothes’.
Today, both kids have a Daffodil Day Mufti Day. All monies raised go towards cancer research. The kids were to wear yellow and green. get it, they’ll look like daffodils.
On top of Daffodil Day, Nuno’s school also had a Mad Hair Day. Mad, of course meaning crazy. Although his hair style could be interpreted as being angry.
*Nuno, for the record I am sorry that I did not get your new
shirt from Ali that says, ‘Here comes trouble’ washed and dried in time for the start of school. I know you were really keen to wear it. My mom would have had that sorted. Next time, I promise to be onto it;)
