Wimping Out

January 4th, 2006 § 2 comments

I’m so not alternative. I saw the greatest baby t-shirt at Ricky’s on Lincoln Road. It said, “I’m so f*ing cute.” And it would have been perfect for Miss Pie. But I’m gutless. I’m afraid of the playground moms. I’m afraid of being skewered on the town’s parenting e-mail list (yes, my town has an e-mail list for parents and let me tell you, the parents in my town–present company included–aren’t shy about voicing their opinions). So if you see me and Miss Pie out and about, just know that I’m at least thinking, “She’s so f*ing cute.” And you know what? She totally is!

    I feel the same way when I have Ella in a feminist tee. Try a non-swearing tee that is radical first. Then work your way up to f*ing cute. 😉

    I was just going to say mostly the same thing…after pretty much ANY shirt from

    the f*ing cute shirt is going to be no problem at all!

    Barring that, bring her to the fashion show in it later this month (email me for details) and I bet she’ll be a very popular girl!
