My Baby Has a Date!

Yesterday, Dee called a friend's husband and said, "Uncle C., I have a question for you.  Will you be my date for the father/daughter dance?"  He said he'd be honored.  She hung up saying she would need a dress, shoes, make-up, mascara, lip stick, lots of lip stick.

I said, "You get nothing new.  And you're 9, you don't wear make-up...even for a special date."

I have wonderful friends.  They have made sure she has not missed anything being raised by a single mom.
