Mamma Bear the realist about the rest of life walked into the Mental Design Team Meeting – with cookies: Team, my friend was telling me how cold she gets going from hot weather to air conditioning. She wants something to warm her neck and shoulders, but she hasn’t got time to fuss with layers that don’t stay put.
Editor reached for a cookie: Shawlette?
Mamma Bear: Has to stay on for stand-in-soccer too.
Patternist: Cowl?
Mamma Bear: Maybe, but it shouldn’t mess up her hair coming on and off, and it should look classic, not too…
Butterfly: Can I have three more cookies?
Mamma Bear: No, I’m paying for your teeth. But you can draw me a picture of the stay put shawlette/cowl/shrug/whatever.
Butterfly: Two more cookies?
Mamma Bear: OK, but it had better be a wonderful drawing.
Butterfly: Two cookies? Now that’s inspiring!
