The Girl. ..when my oldest daughter, my middle child, allows me to take pictures of her. She’s full of 13 angst and impatience, and preference for being behind the camera rather then in front of one, so I don’t push it, often. But when she relaxes, she is stunning…

And some days, like today, her true colors come shining through!

The rule in my house about hair color: you must be at least 12 years old, and understand that folks will point, laugh, snicker. When you can handle that, you’re hair is up to you, you make the decisions. Simple, no? Longtime readers here know that I’m no stranger to funky hair myself, so it seemed a reasonable compromise. Today, my daughter decided to take a dip in the color pool….

I AM SO PROUD! SRSLY! And of course, it’s even better because she let me take pictures of the process – hurray!

Then, she was not finished yet. Nana’s been teaching her how to knit, and after partial scarves and some potholders, and random little things, she decided to design and make something of her own. She worked for a total of about 4 hours, and this is the result – a stunningly colorful complete with a purple button for added splash, fingerless glove.

I love your daughter- she reminds me so much of my girl. Mine at this point is sporting purple hair and black fish net fingerless gloves….

  • Hey! You!

    Yeah you! All this bullshit I write? Is mine. So keep your hands off, will ya? I'm sure you could totally come up with better shit on your own.

    Also - dude. All opinions stated herein these pages are my own, and not those of anyone I might work for. Just in case you think I'm slamming something important, like, oh, say, my work place. I love my job, my co-workers, and anything that you might think is about you? Well, you might be right. Just remember I show my affection by endless nagging, picking on, laughing, etc. :) We're adults. Well. I am. On the outside.
