The Ugly Christmas Sweater: Mama's Revenge

12/21/2015

0 Comments

 
The other day my girl and I
​were walking through the mall. 
When suddenly she stopped and stared 
at something on the wall.

I shook my head in disbelief.
I thought I knew her better.
Can you guess what caught her eye? 
An ugly Christmas sweater.

She laughed and pointed at the thing, 
which shook me to my core. 
Because I knew that in the past 
I'd worn that sweater before.

She turned to me and with a grin,
she asked me for some money.
"The kids at school are dressing up 
and this would be so funny."

I didn't take it personally.
I didn't take offense. 
I didn't give her money.
This was her expense.

Yes I wore those sweaters
I wouldn’t change it if I could.
After all it was the nineties,
and I thought that I looked good.

Now I'm the one who's laughing,
and my daughter would agree. 
She spent her money on ugly sweaters
when she could've had mine for free!

Not sure why my boyfriend needed safety glasses to hold his niece ...

Who doesn't want a rocking horse on their chest?

This was actually one of my all-time favorite sweaters ... and my girls say it's ugly!
