Perspective

One of our soccer players is from another culture.  Her mother wears their traditional dress and speaks very little English.  The daughter translates for us.

At soccer games and practices, my 'traditional dress' is a pair of soccer shorts and a Winnie the Pooh t-shirt. I have t-shirts that match the many soccer team colours that I have had over the years.

Recently, our little friend commented to my daughter, "Your mother dresses funny."

I am sure that in her eyes, my fashion sense for soccer is 'funny', but I cannot imagine the comments from friends and family if I were to dress as our friend's mother does.
