My daughter has, shall we say, a flair for the dramatic. Everything in her life is a Greek tragedy. It is amazing she has survived thus far. A perfect example of the oppression my daughter faces on a daily basis....
This morning as we were getting ready for school, Greyson was looking for his belt and this brought up the subject of the dress code at BGA. Greyson kindly informed Quinn that when she went there, if she had belt loops, she had to wear a belt.
"But Mom I don't want to wear a belt!!"
"You need to wear one if you have belt loops, Greyson is right."
"But I don't want to!!"
"You have too" piped the peanut gallery (aka Greyson)
She then proceeded to begin her sniffles and marched into her room and returned with her pink belt.
"Fine, if I HAVE to wear a belt, I will wear this one."
"Quinn, while that is a beautiful belt. Belts at BGA need to be either black or brown."
The sniffles then turned into almost hyperventilated gasps.
"I can't wear my pink belt??"
"No dear, you have seen the uniforms...they are blue and yellow - BGA's colors."
"But I love pink!!"
"I understand that, and you can wear as much pink as you would like at home but at school you have to wear yellow and blue."
She then threw herself (literally) on the couch and the full sobs began.
"They can stop me from wearing pink at school but they can't force me to stop loving pink!!! I will always love pink!! They can't take that away from me!!!"
I foresee an Oscar in that girls future.....
