OMG WHAT DID I DO!?

If I’m to ever to have a daughter: If I ever have a daughter, I will have my hands full Because braiding hair accented with pink barrettes can be quite the challenge But I will be prepared for the challenges far more complex than trying to find missing Hollister jeans on Monday mornings If I ever have a daughter, I will teach her to be courageous. Because I will watch her climb on that yellow school bus with a butterfly backpack to match the ones in her stomach And I will reward her for conquering her first-day-fears If I ever have a daughter I will teach her about happiness Because I will also watch her come off that same yellow school bus in tears And if for some reason someone were to show her what hate is — I will to show her how lucky she is that she’s not them If I ever have a daughter, I will teach her to be independent Because she will someday become too familiar with the feeling of Sitting alone at lunch But she’ll know that being by herself Is much better than engaging in toxic friendships If I ever have a daughter I will teach her to be confident Because if she wants to wear blue eyeshadow and sing out of tune Or wear 6 inch heels There wouldn’t be a doubt in my mind she won’t because she will be fearless enough to And if I ever have a daughter I will never make negative comments about my own body image Because I don’t want to see her to start counting calories and habitually weighing herself Somehow thinking that that number connects to the value of her worth If I ever have a daughter I will try to protect her But I will also teach her to defend herself Because there will be many frogs she’ll kiss And when that cute boy puts his hand on her inner thigh when she doesn’t want him to She’ll know exactly how hard to punch with her fist If I ever have a daughter I will also teach her about heartbreak Because there will come a time where she is on her bed crying and I will tell her that it feels like it’s the end of the world And I’ll hold her tight to make sure she knows what real love feels like And if I ever have a daughter I will teach her that it’s okay to make mistakes If she falls on the sidewalk and rips her dress she’ll be able to laugh at herself and if she does something wrong she’ll learn to forgive herself If I ever have a daughter, I will trust her I will let her sleepover her best friends house knowing she won’t sneak out to go to that party And I will allow her to change her major from law to art because she knows more about herself than I do And if I ever have a daughter I will be the best mother that I can be Because she will need someone to look up to Someone to count on And if she’s ever to have a daughter I hope she teachers her these same things That my mother taught me.

Are you kidding me? All babies care about is faces and their world. They aren’t registering, “lbgtq people are bad,” As a baby. A flirty baby is not predisposed to only flirt with a specific gender, it’s just an outgoing baby.
