How would you interpret the phrase "traditional attire (of all races)" on a note sent home with Oliver from his daycare? It was in reference of what to wear for the Lantern Festival yesterday.
We discussed it, and couldn't figure out what Oliver's traditional attire would be. He's Canadian - so what is traditional Canadian attire? He's not Native American, he's not a Mounty, maybe pioneer garb, but then he's half Chinese. So a Chinese outfit? But he's half white - which is a mixture of Scottish, Austrian, and Swedish. Send him in a kilt, with leather suspenders, holding a meatball with a Foo Man Chu beard?
So in the end, we gave up and sent him in his uniform.
Turns out all the kids were in their normal after school clothes. You know, what you TRADITIONALLY wear.
P.S. Imagine if we HAD sent him in a costume. The poor kid.
