Birthday "Girl"

When does a "girl" become a woman?" NEVER, if it's one of your own babies.

35 years ago, Karen Marie came to live with us. They say that redheads are stubborn, obstinate, determined, bullheaded, mulish, and headstrong. She is all of the above, but she is also lovable, and a good momma.

She FORCED us to eat at one of her favorite places...Buffalo Wild Wings...B-dubs. I ordered chicken tenders, and I had to tell the waiter I wanted them naked (no sauce.) Embarrassing.

When does a girl become a woman? NEVER, because she is (and always will be) MY baby girl.
