Yesterday I surprised my daughter with a trip to New York City for her upcoming birthday. My mom and mother-in-law came along, so it was a “girls day.” We went to the American Girl Store, where we had lunch and spent a mint on little outfits and accessories for my daughter’s doll. Then we went to see “Annie” on Broadway. It was a great day, and we made many lasting memories.
My mom had made a beautiful dress for my daughter to wear to New York, with a matching dress for her American Girl doll. My little girl was so excited and couldn’t wait to put it on in the morning. She did so while I was showering, and I assumed that my husband helped her zip it up, etc. She then dressed her doll as well.
At last, we headed to NYC by train, and when we got there, we lined up outside Penn Station to hail a taxi. As we walked along the sidewalk, a grate in the ground blew warm air upward, and created a “Marilyn Monroe” with my daughter’s dress. And in that moment, my daughter flashed all of midtown Manhattan with …her bare hiney.
That’s right. No underwear. She hadn’t put any on. A W E S O M E. My mother was appalled, which made it even funnier.
And so, my almost-six-year-old spent the day commando roaming around The Big Apple and having the time of her life. Like I said, lasting memories.
