Spirit Halloween

On Sunday Eric had to run some errands and offered to take Jess to get her Halloween costume, I personally thought he was on drugs or had been body snatched since he offered to take 'the girls' (the word GO and Abby are one in the same-jingle your car keys and she's at the door) shopping. Most men in their right mind wouldn't offer to SHOP with GIRLS... let alone TEEN girls... but I didn't question him, I was all like 'it's your funeral' in my mind of course...I would never....

Later in the day while I was giving myself a mud mask and body scrub... Abby called---sorry MOM I think you called during my time of zen... (keep in mind Eric is on a hunt for Jessica's costume)

Abby: Momo I got the cutest starwberry costume

Me: Strawberry? Like Strawberry Shortcake?

Abby: Yesssss-it's so cute Momo

Me: I can't wait to see it... Oh what did Jess get?

Abby: She's still looking...

So I am picturing this-don't judge

Or maybe even this-a mom can hope

Nevermind the fact Abs didn't even need a costume, but hey she found one AND she bought it with her own hard earned money, who am I to tell her what to do with her cash... besides her dad was with her...yanno monitoring things...GOD REST HIS SOUL!

Let me just say that I am a pretty easy going parent-with boundaries of course, okay well sorta...This my friends is what my almost 16 yr old daughter brought home....

And here is the description of said STRAWBERRY costume:  pic courtesy of spirithalloween.com

AFTER Abby came home and 'Modeled' for me....This is the conversation that followed:
 
Me: So you let our daughter buy a hooker outfit (NO offense meant to hookers)
 
Eric: She had her own money-she checked out before I got up there...I never saw her...
 
Me: WE BUY THE HALLOWEEN OUTFITS FOR A REASON! US, YOU AND ME, WE PAY...SO WE GET A SAY-SO!
 
Eric: silence
 
Me: uh huh....NO SOUP FOR YOU!

I will NOT post a pic of Abby in this costume... UNTIL I find a turtle neck and like 2 or 3 belts-with bullets,some ski boots and some ace bandages and I have a drink or 5...she will need them, as will I...I DO have my boundaries...and when I asked her where she was going? her reply....to walk around the neighborhood with Kylie and her lil bro and sis...

As a mom I am speechless...

BUT not my almost 16 yr old...nope her reply....hey mom ...'At Least I didn't Need Shoes!"
