Pink Stinks!

Don't get me wrong...I haven't always hated pink. In fact, pink and me have never really had any problems. It's an okay color...not grody like orange or lavender. I mean, I prefer yellow, blue or green, but I don't mind pink. It's great for things like lipstick, fingernail polish and the occasional cosmopolitan.

But recently, pink and me have been on the outs. Why?

Miss Priss, of course. Pink has become her absolute favorite, numero uno color of choice. At first, I didn't mind. I even thought it was cute. I mean, seriously...what is more adorable than a two-year-old girl in a pink tutu with a pink hairbow and pink ballet slippers standing in a pink bedroom painted especially for her?

Not much, man. Not much.

Only now, pink is the ONLY color Miss Priss has deemed worthy of her very specific tastes. EVERYTHING has to pink...absolutely EVERYTHING!!! Her sheets, her underwear, her socks, her shoes. AND NOW?!??

She'll only go pee pee on a pink potty!! I'm not going to lie to you...this has set our potty training efforts back by like two months as the pink potty resides at her grandmama's house. Our potty here at home is blue and white and therefore unworthy of Miss Priss's pink-preferring tushy.

The sofa is apparently her toilet of choice now because it's red and therefore in the pink family.

So, yes...pink very literally STINKS!

K-Mom, I love Miss Priss! She's a determined little girl and as painful as it is now, you'll be very thankful she has that trait down the road. Whatever happens to the red sofa, don't go the route of the plastic slipcover (a la the 50s (or was it a decade or two later!?))

Oh man...I hate pink too, and Boo doesn't even really wear it. I would much rather do purple any day.

The couch hunh...got any of that pink paint left? Spray paint? Anything???

Good luck dear!!

I am the mother of a beautiful little girl who was born in July, 2006. I have been happily married to my husband since September of 1998. We've moved all over the south in the years we've been married, but it looks like we've finally found our home in Alabama. I once considered myself to be a fairly intelligent person until I became a mom...now I find myself continually out-paced, out-maneuvered and out-thought by a toddler, but instead of fighting it, I'm going to simply accept that fact that even though I've read all the books and talked to all the "experts" I still don't know what in the heck I'm doing!
