Well that's it, my daughter is going to a dance and she's wearing a dress.

[AlCzervik]

and she looks hella cute and now she wants to wear pink lip gloss aka the gateway cosmetic and some smelly boy just called my house asking for her.

[LeftyMom]

1. "the gateway cosmetic"

:rofl:

So glad I don't have that problem. Though LK did smear $16 vegan lipstick all over his face so he looked like The Joker today at the food co-op. :shrug:

[AlCzervik]

2. it's just like the pool table in River City i tells ya!

stupid smelly boy calling my house! I will be on the look out for that one tonight.

[MorningGlow]

8. Trouble... trouble... trouble... trouble...

:rofl:

[mcctatas]

3. I would kill to get my 13 year old out of combat boots and into

a dress! I bet your daughter looked adorable!

[AlCzervik]

5. that's the problem right there, she looks too cute. She's so not a girlie girl so when she said

"I want a dress" i was all "Whaa?" and she was like "Yup" so she has this cute dress, purple tights and flat suede boots that come up just below the knee, i got her a little jacket to go over top, that was more for me than her.

4. You could smell him on the phone?

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

6. yes, it's that maternal instinct, he is smelly!

[Gormy Cuss]

7. There's still time

to send her to a nunnery. :D

[AlCzervik]

9. she's lucky her dad isn't home, he'd be going to the dance and staying.

[crim son]

10. Laughing. It begins.

I remember that, though my daughter is only now seventeen. This evening she and three of her friends dressed up for a masquerade ball. They all looked really gorgeous and sophisticated. As they left my realtor stopped by for some signatures. He told me, "The girls looked HOT." Dude! "The girls" are seventeen!

And dammit, they looked hot. What a lovely, scary, interesting time of life for our girls, yes?

[AlCzervik]

11. Some dude that works at the video store asked me where my "Cute Friend" was

and i'm thinking who the hell did i come in here with and then it hit me, he was talking about my then 13 year old daughter. i told him, he turned red and was horrifed but that one threw me, i felt crying and kicking his ass all at the same time.

[crim son]

14. Well, let me confess, then, to occasional shock and jealousy.

The looks are no longer ever for me but are always for my truly lovely daughter. It's made me wonder how my mother felt with four rather decent-looking girls. She was incredibly beautiful as a young woman and is still attractive at 68... and I know she valued her appearance.

It's the cycle of life, and when my daughter points out that I have bags under my eyes, I tell her, "Yeah, but you take after your father and take a look at him!" :rofl:

I know, I'm mean, but she's meaner. :P Thank god for daughters.

[AlCzervik]

15. i wasn't feeling jealous just asskicky like Stop looking at my baby you pervert!!!

my mom was hot for a long time and i used to see guys looking at her, staring and i felt the same way almost, stop looking at my mom you pervert!

[crim son]

16. You didn't say a thing about being jealous.

It's just me taking the thought and running with it. Fortunately my daughter is exceedingly, bizarrely particular and has a dear boyfriend who, though older, is totally in love with her and has vowed not to lay a hand on her because she wants to wait. I want to think of him as slimey, but it isn't possible. I'm almost more protective of my oldest son, who is sweet, and naive and really freaking gorgeous. At fifteen he still spurns most of the girls, which is groovy. :D

[AlCzervik]

17. that's excellent that he respects her wishes, sounds like a good man.

yay, keep smelly girls away from you son as long as you possibly can.

[crim son]

18. Laughing.

Yeah, those smelly girls!

I say, thank gawd I had a lively youth or I wouldn't know wtf I'm doing with my precious ones.

[texanwitch]

12. I never did go to dances back then.

Your daughter will have a great time.

You will have to watch out for those smelly boys.

[AlCzervik]

13. you're darn tootin and smelly boys better look out for me because i will be there

for a little while and i know 2 of the chaperons.

[Xipe Totec]

19. Take my advice, have only sons.

:yoiks:

[AlCzervik]

20. too late and i'm out of the baby business, park's closed.

i have only one kid so i have no back if i screw this one up----lotta pressure man.

[Xipe Totec]

21. I know, I know

If it's any consolation, boys are just as much trouble.

I once got so exasperated with my youngest, I told him if he was my first born, he's be an only child!

[AlCzervik]

22. hehe, sometimes my daughter will ask me "What's your favorite song, band, ice cream"

etc and i say "Don't make me pick, that's like making me choose my favorite child" and it usually take about 15 seconds until she says "What??!!"

[AlCzervik]

23. ok well i made the drop, i met smelly boy and his smelly mom, she told me

"How darling Anastasia is and her smelly son talks about her all the time" What? and "wouldn't it be cute if they went out on a date" no it wouldn't. Smelly mom is off her damn nut.
