Gaby, the not so cool kid

Well, the pressure to fit in among her peers has finally set in. Yesterday Gaby informed me that she did not have rain boots like the other kids and therefore could not partake in puddle jumping. She said that the teacher told her that she could not jump in the puddles because of her lack of rain gear but all the kids with the rain boots and rain jackets could jump in puddles. I tried to explain to her that I did know that and that while she was in school I had run out like a mad woman to hunt down this highly needed rain gear. I told her that I got them in her favorite colors... pink & purple. I got no bonus points for the color of the essential items that I purchased since she did not have them when she needed them. Again, I cannot wait till she's 15!
