Being The Baby Girl

...is awesome most of the time. Why, you ask? Well, let me list the reasons...

1. When I was growing up I could start a fight with my big brother and then blame the whole thing on him. My parents never suspected that I was anything but the victim. Muahaha.
2. "Daddy, I know this velvet coat is expensive but I really like it". Being a daddy's girl is an art form all in itself.
3. If anyone hurts me (sometimes even if they haven't hurt me and the family just doesn't like them) there's at least five people threatening bodily harm.
4. The Pedestal. Even when I feel like the whole world is against me, I'm still on the pedestal that is "baby girl".
5. The Umbrella. This one is a Catch-22. It means that there is always a  protective barrier, always someone watching out. Sometimes they are watching a little too closely or being a bit too overprotective but... it's nice to know that it's always there.

Lessons here? Don't start a fight with me, I will play dirty. Being a daddy's girl has given me the life skills to get just about anything I want. If you hurt me, your knees may end up broken. And finally, no matter what life sends my way, I'll be just fine.

Thankful for those that love me...you're all on pedestals of your own and I've got a mighty big umbrella that you're all under.
