And so like just one.

And she's like, no, I want both.

And I was like, okay.

And then she also said, can I get this headband?

And I mean, it was very, very feminine.

And she was already wearing at this point her lavender chucks and her purple sweater.

And so now we had the headband and the earrings.

I remember walking out of the mall because she had started puberty.

How old was she?

I think she must have been in seventh grade at this point.

So 12, 13 years.

but it's not cute anymore for others, right?

Like to see a boy dressed as a girl is not cute.

And I remember walking through the mall and I walked ahead of her because I wanted to just kind of survey, like, you know, just keeping safe.

And I like saw men look at her and with this like 30-ish year old men, like,

I saw two look at her and then take a double take with this just hate on their face.

I mean, I could see it and it was really scary and I didn't want her to see it.
