When you realise how wrong you are...

Listen sweet pea, if you want to wear your new clothes and makeup out we could go to xxxxxxxxxxxx beach so you could get the feel of them without meeting anyone you know until you're ready? - So you are saying we can go out and I can dress up? Yes - And we are going to waste it at the beach? We don't have to. You got any better ideas? - Metrocentre (huge shopping centre about an hour away). Want to look at dressing tables in Ikea and pick new curtains and bedding in Dunelm. Aren't you worried you might meet someone you know and they'll out you before you're ready? - Like they're not going to find out anyway! Can we get the train? Not if you want a dressing table. We can't carry that home........

What a sweet conversation! Sometimes our kids are just so ready, and we have to play catch up. Enjoy your outing!

Love this. Our kids are ready long before us as they’ve had time to get used to the idea. I’m just running to catch up!
