If It's Genetic, She didn't get it from me.

My mom thought it would be fun to take my daughter shopping yesterday and get her some clothes for her birthday. If there's one thing my daughter likes, it's shopping. I know she didn't get it from me. She's a real go getter when it comes to shopping, she likes putting outfits together (unlike me when I was that age) and she's good at it (again, not like me when I was that age). My mom and Caroline left to go shopping at 10:45 and didn't return until 2:00. I think my mom had no idea what a shopper Caroline truly is. Well, one of the purchases was a Hannah Montana purse. It's pink and black plaid with a picture of HM on the outside. It has two, shiny, metallic buttons with a chain strewn between them. There were some outfits, one of which was a velour jogging suit which Caroline loves. She's wearing it today as a matter of fact.

Anyway, fast forward to today. Sundays are "go-out-to-lunch-after-church" days, and today was no exception (even though we didn't go to church). Caroline decided to take her HM purse with her, but was bummed because she didn't have anything to put in it besides some coins for the coin purse. When we were seated at the table, I started pulling some items out of my purse that she'd asked me to hold on to and then I'd shoved them into my purse. Seeing this as an opportunity to declutter my purse, I began handing the items to her. There was a lipstick container with Aurora the Princess on the outside (which she'd gotten from a party), some glitter eye shadow she'd gotten for her dance class, an old pair of sunglasses that I'd had but gave to her because she looked cute in them, and finally some chapstick (because every girl needs some in her purse).

Caroline decided she wanted to put on some of the lipstick while we were seated, and the next thing I know, I look over and she is up close to her purse using the shiny, metallic button on her HM purse as a mirror! I just about died. I have absolutely no idea where she learned that one, I know it wasn't from me (I don't wear a lot of lipstick). I'm hoping it was from my mom or mother-in-law, because if she didn't learn it from them it has to be a girl genetic thing. But it definitely didn't come from me.

So on the one hand I've got a footballer son, and on the other I've got an instinctively savvy girly girl. It's the American Dream huh?
