Acacia had to do a biography project in school (5th grade), and she chose Paul McCartney. She was doing her research (on line, natch), and playing non-stop Beatles songs in the background, apparently for inspiration. It was too cute to hear her back there, singing along with "Lucy in the Sky" and "Yellow Submarine", etc., while she was searching the web and typing up her report.
They had to build a presentation board with pictures and stuff, and, last Tuesday, get up and talk about their person, dressed up to be them. (Geneva was Ben Franklin three years ago, and I bent her up a pair of "bifocals" out of baling wire.)
So, of course, Acacia wore my old "Sergeant Pepper" coat, and put red tape stripes down her pants. That, along with her "growing my bangs out" retro-seventies shag look, made a pretty cute combination, even if it doesn't look a lot like Paulie. She loves the jacket, and wants to wear it all the time now, even though (because?) her hands don't poke out of the sleeves.
