Shit Happened
Emoji's are cool. Everything Else is Boring.
Somehow in the flash of what seems like a second we’ve gone from having a four year old at home to a 14 year old. At least that’s how she’s been acting lately. In some ways she’s so grown up and other ways..well….. not so much.
Today’s example is in the photo above. She decided that she didn’t want the rocket ship sticker on her wall any more as it “was boring” and that was for babies. She’s had the sticker on the wall since she was a baby so I can see how those dots might connect.
Okay, we ask: “What do you want on your wall instead?”
“Emojies” she replies. “The Poop One”
What I want to know is how the heck she figured out what emoji’s even are and how does she know that’s there’s one about poop?
So we did what every parent of the year does: We caved and bought them for her because there’s Amazon . And hey, look at that, the poop emoji’s and crap from China are now delivered right to our door the next day. Now we don’t have to go out and buy our poop. One click and shit happens.
Also, see the hair? Getting pretty long, yes? Looks nice, yes?
Well…not really. She doesn’t let us comb it at all. The plan was to let it grow because she’s a big girl now and we have a wedding to go to in a few month’s time so we thought it would be nice to have the flower girl with beautiful flowing hair - at least that was the delusional dream life we had. The reality is much, much, worse. And with knots.
The screaming. The Crying. And OMG - the knots. We have used probably 40 bucks worth of conditioner this month trying to tame the beast that’s on her head currently but no love. We have spray and wide tooth combs and have tried bribes/distractions/crying (me) and nothing works. She won’t let us comb or tame the beast.
The back of her head looks like, I dunno what. Words can’t even describe the horror that is the state of her hair. The dog has nicer hair at this point. It’s pretty bad. So don’t be too surprised if some time in the near future if there’s a post about her new short haircut because we’re done with the screaming and tears.
She also said that she wants and iPhone but we’re still a bit of a ways to go for that. Stickers you can have, but you have to learn to spell and brush your hair before there’s any conversation about an iPhone.
One thing at a time sweetheart. Now, goodnight and go to bed.
Until Next Time,
TH and Co.
