Hubby and I were just thrilled and oh so proud when our daughter ran over to us, from the face painter’s table at our neighborhood fall festival, as Darth Maul. (According to Wikipedia, he’s a Dathomirian Zabrak Sith Lord, master of double-bladed lightsaber combat, warrior of the Nightbrother clan on the planet Dathomir during the last days of the Galactic Republic . . . from Star Wars, in case you didn’t know.)
I try pink bows, ballet slippers, and frilly dresses, but this one is a slugger on the diamond, a menace in cleats and shin-guards, and bold enough to show up on pirate and princess day, the only female pirate in pre-kindergarten. Aarrrrgh!
And she is beautiful beyond any words.
Thank you for listening. — Twyla
sweet flower or venus flytrap?
A bit of both . . . the complexity of femaleness.
I love when our children surprise us! Enjoy. Love, K
Of late, I live in a constant state of surprise!
But even in cleats and shin guards, she is a sweetie!!
Most of the time, yes.
I love that she was a pirate! I get so frustrated at my sons school when all the little girls spend every dress up day/ school play in tutus and glitter. Come one girls, embrace Star Wars!
I know! Who says girls can’t be pirates.
