I am about to do something really gutsy – possibly alienate potential readers before I have even a single subscriber. But I’m going to do it anyway because, well, if you are one of the women I am about to describe AND you aren’t able to laugh at yourself I’m okay with you not subscribing. I am just hoping you are a very small percentage of women…
While sitting in the park the other day I saw something that made me cringe. A mom was pushing her (maybe 3-year-old?) daughter in her stroller. Here’s the creepy part: I saw pigtails. One set. And they weren’t on the 3-year-old. Gross.
If you are, say, over 12 and/or have your own child, it is time to give up the pigtails!
I really do try to refrain from being judgmental, but there are some rules that exist for a reason, ladies. If you really feel the need to get all cutesy with the pigtails there are plenty of “Oops, do I look sexy? tee hee” Halloween outfits that you can use to indulge this need…once a year.

Please let me clarify: the ‘pigtails’ I speak of are two ponytails, not two braids. I am a little more lenient about braids…especially if they are on a hippy.
But this was no ‘hippy mom’ and those were definitely two obnoxious bouncing blond ponytails.
