Maria just asked me what the word "stylish" means. The only definition I could come up with that didn't involve words I also had to define for her was "wearing what most people like and wear right now, looking good and wearing nice clothes that are like what other's are wearing". Basically, it sounded like I was saying stylish means to look like a clone of everyone else. Which is not entirely true. Being stylish is a good thing to me. Being trendy is not...always. How would you define stylish for a six year old?

Then I'd have to define "conforming" and "ideal"! The whole point was to give a definition I didn't have to define! Heh. Not that I mind defining words or looking up definitions for my children. I do it several times a day. But they get annoyed if ever other word I use to define a word has to be defined for them.
