I just took my life into my own hands.

No, not rush hour traffic.

No, not fighting the crowds who are shopping for last minute school supplies at Walmart.

No, not even knocking over little old ladies to get that last big of ice as we battle our third day in a row of 100 degree heat.

No.

I'm talking buying shoes for my preteen daughter without her being present.

Anyone with a daughter understands this dilemma.

At any rate, I found Tailwind sneakers, black with pink gel heels.

Once I got home, daughter took one look, said (drum roll) "Ooooh!"

She tried them on, danced around the living room, said, "I like them!"

I think the angels are still singing.

Does she have to know I found them at Payless?

Nope.

LOL

I'm so glad I don't have any kids.

Living on the edge. Makes you feel alive, doesn't it? Well done.

I do hope you're going to milk this for all it's worth "I searched the entire city for those shoes...money, time, distance was no object for my little girl...do you think you could bring me a cold drink, sweetheart?"

Pardon me, my Queen, while I genuflect at your feet! You have achieved the impossible, the unattainable. Dare I speak the words? You have shopped, you have purchased, and it has all been approved by She Who Must Wear It. As a mom to a preteen daughter, pray tell me, so I can live vicariously, how does it feel?

You rock!

"But, Mom, you didn't get the matching purse and bookbag and makeup kit and pencil case and eyeglass case and belt and...etc., etc., etc."

I got sooooo lucky.

Share a little of that luck, would you? I've got to find shorts for back to school that fall just at the tips of her fingers. Any longer just wouldn't be cool. Ewwwww.

 

[starrkers]

I got sooooo lucky.

You did indeed. I'm not game to even buy undies for my now-teen without her presence.

 

[sutherngent985]

*On my knees in church, looking up to the heavens* Dear god...Thank you for making my child a boy. As much trouble as he is, he doesnt hold a candle to the trouble a girl would be. Amen

(And if you know me, church and prayin arent my strong suits by any means)

I have both. Girls are certainly....interesting, but boys will make you bang your head against the wall in frustration.

No kidding. I'm not looking forward to having three teen-aged boys at once.

Buying appropriate underthings for my daughter is not for the fainthearted! My mother is probably peeing in her pants laughing.

 

[rgraham666]

The problem with having a girl teenager, and being a father, is that your scared shitless she'll meet a boy that was just like you when you were her age.

 

[Recidiva]

Wow. Hell, I gave up on buying my son pants without him being present. That's hard core.

Man isnt that enough to scare the stuff right outta ya? *shivers*

[rgraham666]

Oh, yeah. This is scary.

Daughter went to her first dance with her best friend last year. Hubby is growling, and here's this skinny little 11 year old kid holding our daughter's hand.

I was amused.

We're a strange gender, aren't we?

lol, you got more than lucky hon.

Though I'm not a pre-teen I still cant stand my mom or anyones mom to buy shoes/clothes/purses for me.

I can see the headline

"Crazed man castrates 11 year old!!"

I think, when I am a parent and have a teenaged daughter, that I'd be scared shitless that she might be like I was when I was her age: voracious and 'invincible'
