How to Raise a Proper Young Lady

1. Hide the camera. Or this might happen:

2. Ban costumes. And wigs.
3. Limit contact with certain friends and family members.
...Especially that one brother of hers.
If these steps fail, realize you may have a hopeless case on your hands. And then realize that "proper" is over-rated anyway, especially if it prohibits such obvious joy.

Besides, think of the great blackmail material you have on hand for when she starts dating......

Absolutely - don't end up liking the high school boyfriend? Just pull out the pictures of her with her finger up her nose. Perfect.

MOM!!!!! Are you crazy? How could you??? People will look here and think I'm a maniac! Which I sometimes am, but that's not the point. And don't you dare show ANY of my boyfriends this when I grow up!!! Or I just might move out of the house earlier! jk

I love you, Mom! But do me a favor and never do this to me again!

Hey Cici, don't like the pictures? Come live with me! I'll guarantee you have only perfectly proper pictures: No makeup, no wigs, hats or dress-up. No goofing off with family and friends. No sticky foods or goopy gunk. No slouching or wrestling! No! No! No!

Just kidding! We love the REAL you! Come be your crazy wonderful self and you can have it all! Love, Mimi

What a goofball! I love it!! I must have 100 pictures like this of my friends/cousins and me.

Cici, thanks for reminding us to not take ourselves too seriously.

Let's not limit contact with friends! At least Cici has company looking like a "maniac!"

Jadie said...

So you DID notice that there was this one girl who kept appearing at Cici's side! ;) Love those two maniacs!!
