Sloppy Braids and Mismatched Outfits

Braids?

We do our best to make sure our daughters have what they need and want for nothing. Especially in the attention and love department. But despite my best efforts, Liz can give them something I cannot: nice hairstyles and well-appointed outfits. Blame it on my impatience, incompetence, inexperience with hair in general...whatever, the unskilled fingers still point to me.



It's not that I don't want to have them show off their beauty with the latest hair or clothing style. Or fall back on the lame "it's a girl thing" excuse. But let's face it, asking me to braid my kids' hair or shop for a chic ensemble is like asking a moonshiner to sit in for a wine sommelier at a French restaurant. Results may vary considerably. And not usually in my favor. Riots may ensue.

Such is life. So I'll stick to what I know - hugs, attention, playing....and my limits.
