One, two: Unless she’s wearing pink, everybody thinks she’s a boy (so what, I’m not dressing her in pink).
Three, four: She’s not bothered, I still get to decide what she wears (green & brown hide grass & mud stains, see).
Five, six: It had better look pretty or she’s not going to wear it (and she’ll be the judge of what is and isn’t pretty).
Then 14 and 15 hit and nothing pleases and no one can decide what to wear and ypu become late for everything.

Ahh a good take on the prompt. I felt you digging your heels in, I hated the she has to wear pink brigade… 😇

So impractical, too – you can never make out your kid in the park when they’re all wearing the same colours.

I remember when it was an issue that my fave color was BLUE–you’d have thought I was a Communist!

Haha wonderful idea! I have vague recollections of similar happenings with my Mom as a young child. Once she sewed me a very cute dress but in peach and maroon (eighty’s colours I was three or four?) and I absolutely hated it. She got me pretty Mary Janes to go with it and the whole outfit I detested. Also, for the longest time, I wouldnt wear pink. When you’re young and a girl, especially blond haired blue eyed, every relative gets you something pink. I wouldn’t wear it until high school, and by then everyone had gotten the point. Best of luck with your daughter!
