You may of already realised you have so much to learn in your life. Your dada and I are going to be teaching you so many lessons and you will hopefully turn out to be a beautifully well mannered loving caring girl. We intend to teach you the usual life lessons that so many kids don't seem to know nowadays - you will say "please, excuse me" and "thank you". You will have respect for yourself and your body. You will treat people with kindness no matter what they look like or how other people treat them. Trust me you will be drummed with these rules. Although there are other life lessons that I think are just as important and don't want you learning too late so I will go through them with you now.
* Don't always follow trends.
Sometimes bad fashion happens. Unfortunately we can get so caught up with the trends we don't know when we should leave well enough alone. Think perms, platform shoes (for guys)!, anything velour and most of the 90s.
* Know your best angle.
You are going to be photographed your whole life (I'm your mama you really have no choice) so the best thing for you to do is just roll with it. But remember once the pic has been snapped it is with us forever (and will reappear at your 21st) so please know that "duckface" will never look hot.
And just as a side note you may think the "sexy eyes" will make you look amazing but most people can't pull it off and end up just looking drunk.
* Open your eyes when it comes to guys.
Guys like this may seem cool at the time but trust me - they are douches! You don't want to date someone that has so much arrogance they think wearing sunnies indoors is cool, or they have no respect for other peoples property. And while were on the subject if you bring a guy home and I can see his boxers above his jeans expect me to give him a pair of yours dads pants that will fit properly. (Seriously when is that trend going to end)!!!
Or if it's girls you're bringing home (either way your dad and I aren't fazed - well to be honest your dad would probably PREFER you to bring girls home) please make sure their pants fit well too!
* More tan/make-up/hair does not equal more beautiful.
I cannot tell you how many times I've seen bad tans happen to good people. I don't know if when you're older the word "oompa loompa" will even have any meaning but trust me you don't want to be called one. With makeup remember that less is more - go for the natural look (if you need any at all) and save the drastic stuff for, oh I don't know, Halloween parties I guess??
But sweetheart even if you go against all these "rules" your dada and I will still be there for you and love you forever (we just may not be seen in public with you) xo
