Mike and I were at a department store the other day and were heading over to the shoe department, when Chloe, frantic, began tugging me back in the direction from which we'd come. "Mom! We have to go get that thing! We have to hurry - so no one else takes it!"
"What thing?" I asked.
"We have to go get it - come on, come on!" She was almost beginning to cry, so I agreed to go back to see what she was talking about. We passed a row of dresses then she pointed up.
"There it is!" Hanging there, solitarily, was a (yes, as alluded to) tiny yellow polkadot bikini top - with a pink skull & crossbones on one side.
"I have to get it, Mom!"
I was trying to gently explain to her how much she didn't need to get it, but she was so excited, I wimped out and told her we'd go show it to Dad, and see what he thought.
She brightened, "Oh! Dad is going to be sooo happy!"
We managed to leave the store without it - though she kept trying to see if it fit - wrapping it around her tummy. (She's 3 years old. Where did she get that idea? From the Little Mermaid? . . . the Harley-Davidson version?)

Wow. I forsee interesting clothing battles in the years to come. (Snort.)
How funny! Thanks for sharing. That is very cute.
Ahhh Mom! You're no fun. Just kidding, that is pretty bizarre. I don't understand why there is a market for immodest kids clothes with skulls. I guess their catering to Chloe.
LOL! That's so funny...and yet very very random! What a personality that Chloe has! Was she so disappointed when Dad didn't look "sooo happy!" after all?
that's stinking hilarious.
