6. thank you
I do hope she takes her lip ring out tho...

it is the one thing I let her do that I don't like.

she convinced me by saying:

I make all A's
I am graduating High School in 3 years
I don't smoke, drink or do drugs
I work 30 hours a week

I just want my lip pierced to show a little rebel.

what could I say...

I can see why you allowed her, even if it makes you uncomfortable!

I love the color of the dress, and she looks beautiful in it! :)

39. If that's the worst trouble she's making
you're a lucky mom, greenbriar.

My 14yo stepson (8th grade) recently asked dad exactly how one puts on a condom. :wow: While I'm glad he's asking, I'm not sure I really want to know why.....

13. Nice balance between simplicity and the whole long-flowy-dress thing.
And a nice color, too. :)

15. Thank you. She is deciding what to do with her hair.
hubby (her daddy) says it should be down like the picture

I say up do with lots of little ringlets

she says she wants to talk with her friends and see what they are doing

16. She could look at it both ways..
Do something with the ringlets and take a picture and then view the picture with her hair down. That would give her a good comparison to see which she likes best. Then she could also get the opinions of her friends too. :shrug:

25. Up but no ringlets
Ringlets are really out. I thought so back in the 1970s and I have never seen them as fashionable at any time since.
I suggest she look at photos of celebs at award ceremonies and see how they wore their hair up. It will give her a starting point.

19. All set for the prom!
Now all you have to do is meet her date while you "just happen" to be cleaning your gun.

(That's a joke.)

31. Yeah, we have everything at Sears...
except lumber. People come into Hardware all the time and ask where we keep the nails, screws and lumber. We sell tools.:eyes:

But yeah, we sell that dress and a lot of other really nice ones. For the guys, we have a great selection of brand-name slacks and shirts...Structure(c) is a steal. Looks like it costs a lot more than it does and it's super-stylish. It's almost all always on sale, we're getting creamed in retail share. My store is doing okay though.

37. Beautiful dress, beautiful daughter.
It shows HER off, which is what that kind of dress should do. She must feel like a princess in that lovely gown ... and she should.
