Only One Of Us Looks Good In A Blue Princess Dress.
I wanted a girl.
I got all girl. I got the kind of girl I used to poke fun at. I got the kind of girl I don't understand. I got a girl who loves all the things that make my eyes roll right on out of my head.
I got high-heeled shoes and bright pink polish.
I got sundresses and sass.
I got hearts in place of Os.
I got princesses and priss.
I got Barbies and babies.
I got tutus . . . and more tutus.
I got pink . . . so much pink.
I didn't get exactly what I envisioned, but in some ways I got so much more.
Karma has already paid me back for my tomboy ways. There's no need to take the torture further. If you haven't gotten your ticket for Crazy Scary yet, perhaps you'll do me a favor and make sure it's a ticket that will prevent death-by-girly-girl?
P.S. If you get a VIP ticket, you don't have to go through the haunt unless you want to. You'll be nice and safe and zombie-free upstairs. There will even be plenty of food and drink and prizes to keep you company.
SAVE ME.

I wanted a girl. I sure as CRAP got one :)
Which is why I have NO CLUE what to do with this tiny human I just had that is a boy.
You would SO rock those pink star sunglasses though. And magenta pink taffeta would compliment your complexion, don't you think?
my favorite photo that you ever posted of alexis is one where she is in a crowd of people wearing a biker jacket and a tutu...i think you guys were at the zoo. this last one of her in her pink, pink and then some pink is a very close second favorite. that kid is all personality and i find that fabulous. even if i also would have no idea what to do with her.
p.s. thank you for letting me know that i don't "have" to go through the scarehouse. not sure if i can do it. even if someone might bring me depends.
Just got another one to help w the cause ;-)
I know, right? My daughter was all girl, even with two brothers. I had no idea what to do with that. She's still my polar opposite, but the fru-fru girl calmed down after about age eight or nine.
@Flea--I CANNOT wait for the day that the girly girl fru-fru calms down. If it calms down. OMG, IT BETTER CALM DOWN BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL.
I knew I wasn't the only girl growing up with a bunch of NAKED barbie dolls. It is totally normal for the dolls to be naked. 8)
Two things - 1.She is already making fancy letters?! Wowza!
2. Why is Ken the only one who is ever clothed?
I'm actually shocked that karma has not given me not even one girly-girl out of the two I have. Of course, they do like the occasional dress-up party, and one of them could still want to be a cheerleader, so I'm not ruling anything out.
Good luck on Tuesday. Although, er, I'm pulling for the other team. I could live with a princess dress, but I would have a heart attack going through a haunted house WITH PEOPLE, let alone on my own.
I kinda have a feeling it's going to go the other way for me. I WANT my girl to be girly-girl and I think it's inevitable that she's going to be a bit a of a tomboy. :) No matter, it's wonderful either way, isn't it?
