My kids are allowed to each pick one friend to give a present too. We give them to relatives and that one friend each. My daughter chose her new friend from school Lily. Lily is spunky, sweet and insanely adorable with a side of mischief. Ava wants to get her an asian looking styling doll, Lily is asian. She said that she has a doll that looks like her, a tinkerbell, so lily should have one that looks like you. This then made me laugh hysterirically.
Ava had her first playdate with out me about two weeks ago. I asked all the right questions. Do you have a gun? No, good. Does your pool have a locked gate? Yes, Good! I had nothing to worry about. I forgot one question that I had no idea I needed to ask, Does Lily know where the scissors are? The answer was yes.
I came to pick Ava up after a couple of hours. Donna and I were sitting on the couch listening and watching the girls giggle in Lily's room. It is so great for Ava to have a friend and not just be dragged around to big brother Logan's play dates. We were just talking about how they always liked someone to go to the bathroom with them, when the girls went into the bathroom together. They were giggling for about two minutes when we heard the water turn on. That was our cue that something was wrong.
Donna and I came rushing into the bathroom to a scene that made us want to laugh, scream, cry and look to each other for how to react. I am just getting to know her and want to scream and cry, so I laugh. Ava is sitting on the counter in a snow white costume with her beautiful golden curls strewn around the room punctuated with long black hairs. Lily in her Minnie Mouse costume scissors in hand burst into tears. They now know what they have done and worse they were in trouble. Ava looks in the mirror and cries that she looks like a boy! Donna and I laugh. I can not exclaim enough how awkwardly funny about this situation. You could not write a funnier situation. It looked as if edward scissorhands got drunk and decided to cut some hair. It was hilarious as long as i pretended it was someone elses kid! I cried myself to sleep. The next day I went out and bought clip in real hair extensions. Ava gets to have fairy hair and I get to pretend my daughter does not have a mullet.
This is why I laughed when my daughter decided that Lily needed a styling head and thanks to disney fairies we were able to get one that look asian like.
