Geeky Talks
And this is how I found out I really have no taste
LB and I had a pretty good day. I joked once that naps are like mini-exorcisms. Yesterday Mr Flinger informs me that he’s so thankful for the ol’ Aunt Flo (isn’t that just the dumbest thing to call a menstrual cycle? seriously? But I do it, too. Oh, and I have a hayhay, thankyouverymuch. I’m mature like that.) Like I was saying, so thankful for the ol’ Aunt Flo because it’s an exorcism of sorts for the wifey. That psycho PMS bitch? GONE!! I quote, “Every day I’m praying for the MS portion of the PMS.”
Well, there you have it.
So there has been napping and hormonal recovering in the home which means the girls are doing pretty dang well in our family. So, I decided to take charge of this, ahem, baby weight :: cough cough:: and go to the gym today. I got LB dressed, put on her sunblock (because we were outside a total of ten minutes and my god! The skin cancer! The UV rays!) and headed to the gym. We get to the play area and the pretty, young, skinny, makeup girl signs up LB to be in day care. She laughs, “Well I know who picked out HER clothes today.”
Uh, Excuse me?
“HA! I have a nephew that insist on dressing himself. He refuses to let my sister dress him. He always has on some plaid shirt with striped shorts. It’s horrible.”
Well, now, see *I* dressed LB in a cute little polka-dotted shirt and a cute little flower skirt that MATCH. Ok, not in the obvious way. But they do match in the “they both have brown and pink” and “they were both purchased by Auntie Paige” kind of a way. I’m aware nobody else would realize that latter portion but the pink and brown should be a dead give away.
So this is how I learned I have no taste. Thing is, it runs in the family. My poor LB is screwed. She’ll be telling me what the cool kids are wearing when she’s 12 and I’ll be making her wear pigtails and cat sweatshirts because I’m that out of touch. But they MATCH.

A bit confused why everyone is going toward the window's phone layouts. I find those massively confusing. Oddly compelled to copy the trend.17 hours, 15 minutes ago

She was dumb for opening her mouth. Not every thought has to be shared.
Matching clothes are just a fad.
Snaps for you putting sunscreen on your LB, I’m the Mom that says “Eh, we’ll only be out in the sun for 10 minutes…we don’t need no stinkin’ sunblock.”
Has she never seen the Zutano stuff…they mix stripes, florals, dots, etc. ALL THE TIME! And? I love it. And? You are totally hip, girlie!
My husband always says kids can wear anything because they are kids.
Tell that girl to shut her pie hole. LB is so cute she would look good in a garbage bag. Don’t worry about that girl.
The woman has no sense of creativity or style!!
Love that Mr. F. prays for the MS part of PMS… I’m pretty sure my hub does too. Sigh.
ROFLMAO!! My Mom marhes clothing that kind of a way and there is so nothing wrong with that! The highschool mentality of everything being just so is only evidence of a distinct lack of creativity. dumb girls are so lame.
So, my question is ‘did you ‘fess up and tell her that you had dressed her or just laugh it off’ or give her the skunk eye?
