SHOCK POST

Yeah I know I've already done a post today and it was a biggie but something just happened that I MUST tell you about IMMEDIATELY.

My husband just picked our pre-schooler (kinder next year - sob) up from dancing and she slung a plastic bag in my general direction. "Costumes for the Concert" she said.

They've now gone to a birthday party (Happy Birthday Kaela) and I've just opened the bag and had a peep. I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK!!!

Here are the contents of the bag:



I'm no prude. We have a lot of fun in our house, and I'm very relaxed about what they do and how they do it.

But I do beleive in letting children be children. I won't dress my daughter like Britney Spears. I will tell my daughter 'It's more important to be clever than pretty and most important to be a good person' - even though society will tell her the opposite. I don't encourage makeup and 'boyfriends' and hair styling. I am fully aware that when the time comes I won't be able to hold back the tsunami of hormones and I know that they grow up faster 'these days'.

At least they weren't black. And there's no fishnets. That's something, isn't it?


I'M REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THIS.

But wait, there's more. Contents of bag came with gestapo instructions.

"Hair: High ponytail with curls. (please use proper hair curlers as scrunching your hair wont hold nor work.)
Makeup: brown foundation, brown eyeshadow, black eyeliner (on tip and bottom of the eye), red blush and red lipstick."

And so on.

WHAT IS MY CHILD DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?????

Oh my god you should see how excited she is about this frigging concert. She won't take the yellow and pink thing off! She's 'shaking her tail feather'(that's the performance song) all over the joint.

SOMEBODY HELP ME. THIS IS NOT MY BABY DAUGHTER. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. IS IT?????

Is it wine o'clock yet?
Sheesh.
