The Texan
Papa, everyone loved my boots, Cici told me last night. And I mean everyone, she said. I bet they also loved your Texans shirt, I teased her. Do you know that many people at my school had the exact same shirt? She said. Good, I said, then you fit right in with your classmates. Except for your boots, and the other girls were jealous about them, I continued. Oh Papa, Cici laughed. They just loved my boots.
With the Houston Texans going into their second ever playoff game this weekend, Cici's school allowed the students to wear jeans and Texans shirts on Friday instead of their school uniforms. I received an email from the school about the dress code on Thursday afternoon so I stopped at Academy on the way home and bought a Texans shirt for Cici because I didn't want her to be the only student at school in her uniform. The dress code was to either wear a Texans shirt or wear the school uniform.
The boots were one of the pairs that Ping and I bought for Cici for Christmas a year ago. The weather cooperated perfectly by delivering a cold day, so Cici bundled up for school with her boots and jeans and Texans shirt and a muffler around her neck above her jacket. The muffler hid part of her face and a person who didn't know her would probably have believed that there was a native Texas girl under all that clothing.
