some girls

Some girls wear bows in their hair, lots of pink, and are sugar and spice and all that stuff.

Other girls have moms that give up trying to put bows in their hair, since they rip them out anyway...and roll their sleeves up so that they can play in the dirt without getting into too much trouble.


Some girls used to have pictures in their lockers that looked like this


And other girls used to have pictures in their lockers that looked like this




Some girls love to shop for clothes and spend countless hours rummaging around the mall from store to store.

Other girls love to shop for this


and spend countless hours online looking for the best new shoes or aerobars.

Some girls spend lots of money on manicures and pedicures, so their hands and feet look dainty and pretty.


Other girls know that long nails get in the way of pitching a really nice fastball, and are afraid to get a pedicure for fear the nail techician would run away screaming since they have lost a few toenails and have rough and tough heels from the miles on the road.

Some girls spent hours on end talking about boys and mascara, and couldn't wait to go to the prom.

Other girls spent hours on end pitching a ball against a wall of a building, and couldn't wait to pitch a shutout.


Some girls get all dolled up for a night on the town every single weekend, and spend lots of money on overpriced martinis and late night dancing.

Other girls do this once in a while, but spend most of their nights hitting the hay early so they can run 10 miles with their friend at 8am on a Saturday.


Some girls like it their way, and hey, more power to them.

The good thing about the other girls is, eventually, they find each other.



And then, there's no stopping 'em.

I refuse to get a pedicure because I am frightened to think of what the tech would think of my nappy feet!!!!!
