Ride ‘em, cowgirl!

posted in Birthdays, OmegaDad, OmegaDotter, Parenting |

A vision of western pioneer spirit.  Note the pink roping rope.  This was a birthday gift to the dotter from OmegaDad.  Apparently, unbeknownst to me, OmegaDad had been teaching the dotter how to “rope” various items.  Also, unbeknownst to me, brightly colored ropes are the In Thing at rodeos.

So, for her birthday, OmegaDad sashayed on down to our local feed store to try and find her a real rope for roping, a “kid’s” rope.  And he really wanted to get her a pink rope.  He ended up having to ask a friendly sales associate–who immediately led him to the hidden-away pink ropes, which the FSA informed OmegaDad were only purchased by men.  No women ever purchased the pink roping ropes.

I suspect a great number of those men were dads wishing to please small princesses.

    There are virtually no lengths a daddy won’t go to for his princess.

    It’s a side effect of being twisted so firmly around her dainty little finger.

    This is the sweetest thing I’ve read, or seen, in a long time.
