The Lone Boob

My 4 year old has one of the quirkest little personalities EVAH!! I mean she has done some things that you will not believe. Therefore, I have decided to start to blog about my final and most impish child.

I decided that I needed to take my 4 littles and 4 other kids swimming today. I know that you are probably thinking that I should report on that adventure......but let me tell you this. 1. I am not crazy, 2. Yes, I am a superwoman and 3. My extreme OCD and head counting makes me one of the best lifeguards around.

Ok....so I was getting the kiddos dressed and I pull out this new swimsuit for my baby. Its a super cute little pink bikini from Gymboree (one of my most fav stores). Anyways, she puts it on and thinks she is a ballerina because of the fringe on the bottom. So she is twirling and dancing up a storm. I am so beautiful mommy, thank you mommy, I LOVE THE SWIMSOUP MOMMY!! I am happy, she is happy, all is right with the world. I begin to lather all the kiddos up with sunscream when #4 comes in with a HUGE pout on her face.

"Whats wrong doll baby?!"
"I don't like this soup!! I don't want to wear it!!!" <-- insert whining and almost crying here.
"I thought you LOVED it....whats wrong?!"
"Mommy..........it SHOWS MY BOOB!!"

OK......I almost lost it here. I held it together because I didn't want to scar my daughter with laughter at her boob. I can scar her with other things down the road.

"Baby, you don't have a boob. You have baby BOOOOOBIES. Boobies - not a boob. So you are fine wearing it. You can't see a thing!!"

Then she looked at me with the most indignent face she could muster she proclaimed.

"I HAVE A BOOB AND ITS SHOWING!!!"

*sigh* So what did I do? Did I pacify the girl and let her change out of her new swimsoup. HECK NO. I did what every hollywood fashion designer does. I got some scotch tape, rolled it up and did the ole double stick to the suit/skin trick. She was happy and the boob was covered.

Did the tape last through swimming. I don't even think it lasted into the car. But in her mind the boob was conatined. Whew, at least my girl has some sense of modesty - well for now anyways!!!
