three little letters

Three little letters sent me into a dizzy.

A whole other stage to enter. More grownup issues for us and our growing up too quickly girl.

How do I talk about this? What do I say? This is so much earlier than I dealt with it.

And where do I buy it???

Nope, not the three letters you thought, not S - E - X.

Three other letters - B - R - A. She wants a bra and is just starting to be at the point where she could wear the very basic training bras.

Doesn’t she know this is just a hassle? Just like shaving your legs… they may be rights of passage but they are pain in the butts for women in my opinion. I certainly don’t want mine down to my knees but some days I want to burn my bra. There is no such thing as a really comfy bra. Just like there really is no easy way to remove ALL the hair from your legs. UGH. I’m not even getting into PMS yet.

I picked up a couple last night. No idea if they’ll work but we’ll go from there. She saw them in the bag in the back seat and spent the morning clammering to wear them. Begging and pleading as intently as she did for the candy she wanted last week. I told her tomorrow. I want to talk about this and make sure they fit, do things right, while of course she wants to run headlong into impending tweenhood.

Hayley, I know you want to grow up so quick but really REALLY, I advise you to stay young - for my sanity and yours.
