Just so you know, Hell is about to freeze over.

I say that because my staunchly anti-Disney princess, pink hating daughter has recently informed me that she is now more of a "girly girl"
The conversation went like this. We were sitting at the kitchen table together, while she ate her after school snack and I ate one too.
"Emily is going to invite me to her birthday party"
"Mmmm hmmm that's nice"
"Yeah, and her mom is going to braid my hair"
Me pausing in mid chew, givng her a wide blank stare.
"What?!?"
"Braid your hair?"
"Yeah, you now braids"
I do a lot more blank staring and blinking.
"But... but... you HATE braids"
"But, Emily's mom will braid my hair"
Now offended that she wouldn't want her own my to braid her hair.
"You know Aislinn, I CAN braid hair. I've done it for you lots of times"
"I know" said in annoyingly innocent voice while smacking on her strawberries.
"well, I can braid your hair"
"I know, but you never do"
This is where I am trying really, really hard not to bang my head on the table repeatedly. Becuase, she is right. No, I don't braid her hair, because of the SCREAMING AS IF I WAS CHOPPING OFF APPENDAGES when I did. If you even mentioned styling her hair in any style, I would end up holdiing her tongue to keep her from swallowing it, such was the force of her fit.
So, today she is off at school with a PONYTAIL. She didn't even cry.
So, if you find the devil shopping for mittens.... it was Aislinn's fault.
