Dissed by a kindergartner

Alyssa has always been into fashion and looking hip and cool with her clothes. Well, that has recently transcended to her hair. She started fixing her own hair about a month ago at home and has since started wanting to fix her own hair for school. So, she has been fixing her own hair and doing a pretty good job. It is mostly up in pony tails with a headband, or pig tails or sometimes a bow in the front and sometimes even a small side pony tail in front. Gran sent us a lot of bows that she had made quite a while ago, so she has been using a lot of those to accessorize too. I don't know where she gets this interest, because it definitely does not come from me. Having said all that, this morning, she was pulling her hair into a pony tail and had quite a few "bumps" in the back. I grabbed a comb and went to help her smooth them out and she said "Mom, please don't do that, I want to do it myself. I am better at doing hair then you are!" I will be the first to tell you that I am lacking in the "making things look pretty" department and that includes my hair and the hair of my children. However, I was a little offended at those words! I guess it is only the beginning! A mama can't get no respect, can she!
