The Contrasts of Pre-Teenagehood...


I was tidying Miss 11's underwear drawer today (as you do when you put away the washing) and the contents got me laughing...

Besides the usual jocks and socks we had a water pistol (courtesy of Grandma for Christmas), a cuddly rug (yes, we still take one to bed) and little girl handkerchiefs.

Then we had panty liners, bralets, a spare razor, purses and beaded scarves. And a mouthguard and a pottle of trombone slide grease.

The trappings of childhood are slowly disappearing as the teenage years approach. And yet...the little girl is still there too. She still believes in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus...
I love you lots, my darling girl. Don't grow up too fast...
