Signs of Trouble in Our Future.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Uncategorized

Yesterday morning I sent Annie upstairs to get dressed.

This is what she picked out to wear.
Should I worry, that with all the cutesy pink & smocked & appliqued little-girl stuff in her closet….this is what she picked?

A black rock star shirt with torn sleeves?

Black fur-trimmed biker boots? With shorts???

Not to mention the tattoos. Uh oh.

Oh my. Oh no.

She’s even got the angry rock star sneer.

And a touch of rock star attitude. Guess what? I’m still a rock star. I’ve got my rock moves. And I don’t need you…

The shirt, I have to confess, is my fault because I did buy it for her, after all. I can’t help it; I’m a child of the 80s. This shirt just spoke to me.

I just didn’t realize she’d be wearing it with the boots and the tattoos.

I think we’re in trouble.

Hopefully I can straighten her out before she’s a teenager.

Pray for us.

Trouble??? Who, me?

    How funny! You never can tell what little girls will decide to do – or wear! 🙂

    Hey Mel….I got the shirt at Wiggles &amp; Giggles…the little childrens&#39; clothing store where I work sometimes! They get in some crazy random stuff from the Dallas market ~ all samples. I&#39;ll look at the tag and let you know what the brand is!

    That is too, too awesome. AB CD!! I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. I hope she IS all kinds of trouble for you when she&#39;s a teenager! That would be some kind of blessing for her to keep that strong girl attitude. <br /><br />Of course, you&#39;ll have to keep from just eating her up and squeezing her to pieces because she&#39;s so blamed cute NOW.
