Mustache Sweater

I work in the coolest shops this floorset. Within the store I work at, we have different concepts and we usually refer to them as shops or sections. For example, there may be a cowgirl shop and a rocker chick shop and a 70s girl shop and so on. I have a shop called Geek Chic. Now to some, it may seem like a mix up of stripes, conversation print and puke, but it calls to my inner child. It reminds me of how I used to dress when I was in elementary school- print on print and rocking it. It's back to school shopping season and the store hasn't been lacking in customers lately. There was a mother/daughter duo walking together when the daughter, about age 13, stopped to fondle a sweater with a mustache on it. Anyone cool knows that mustaches have been in for a few years now. Whether you can grow one or wear one, they are in. She exclaimed with delight and held up the sweater to show her mother. In disgust, her mother said, "Ew, NO!" 

I know this is not an earth shattering scenario that I should concern myself with, but I still learned something. I don't think I am an uptight person and I certainly hope I won't be an uptight mother. This girl is 13 years old. She picked out a sweater, a perfectly respectable sweater, and this mother shot her daughter down because of her personal taste (which may or may not be bad). I want to give my kids boundaries when it comes to things like safety, but not when it comes to creativity. Give respect to earn respect. LET THE GIRL WEAR HER MUSTACHE SWEATER.

Thank you. The End.
