Death Before Fashion Disaster
Conversation with my 15 year old daughter two minutes after we were suppose to leave for school this morning:
Kelsey: We have to stop by Mom's before school.
Me: Why?
Kelsey: I forgot to bring my bag with my earrings.
Me: Can't you wear the ones that you had on yesterday?
Kelsey: No. They don't match what I have on today.
Me: Can you go a day without wearing any?
Kelsey: Nope.
At this point she gives me that "sans-earrings-is-not-an-option -even-if-I-am-late-for-school-I am-still-going-to-be-fashionable" look.
Me: Let's go... I'll drive.
Kelsey: Don't drive slow on purpose.
I'll do almost anything to make her happy and to insure that she picks out a good nursing home for me when I'm in the "drooling-years".
(we made it with 11 minutes to spare)

"Don't drive slow on purpose."
That's funny right there.
Dave (Who prays that God blesses him with all boys...or one boy and one intelligent yet unattractive girl.)
you've just underestimated the need to be "fashion perfect" in the high schooler mind.
However, you're right if you don't treat her right you'll end up in a nursing home where they dye your hair red on Wednesdays, paint your nails lime green on Thursdays and forget that you need a lap robe when you're sitting bottomless in your wheelchair.....
***buy her earrings for Christmas. The good gold ones that will go with everything.
Funny! You're a good Dad.
And it begins.
Wow, the teenage years sound like buckets o'fun.
Ahh...tales of a drama queen.
LMAO. Poor girl. Poor dad. We can't have non-matching or no earrings! ;)
Are you serious about the camo?
That is *just* like my 15 year old sister!
