My daughter is seven. She has inherited a lot of things from me (blue, eyes, blonde hair, freckles) but she is, more than anything else, her father’s girl and she’s got all the quirks to prove it, including a mean nail biting habit. During a recent manicure session (for her siblings), we had the following discussion:
Daughter: Mommy why do ladies have those long lady nails?
Son: To scratch good with.
Me: Maybe. (and then to son) Please give me your hand.
Daughter: Sometimes girls in my class have nails like that.
Me: That’s inappropriate. (and then to son) Give me your hand - Now! (and to toddler) Give Mommy the nail clippers.
Daughter: When I see nails like that, I sometimes really want to eat them.
Hmm - how bad would it be if I gave son’s hand to daughter and let her chew on it?

Mommyfesto - a companion blog to Daddyfesto in the same way that "mommy" is a companion to "daddy" - less theory, more action; a little bit crazy; and bitching the whole way through.
You've just spent four hours cleaning four bathrooms, at eight p.m. (ok five p.m.) you notice that your child has painted her own hair - just on the side, you can't see it head-on, do you bathe her? It's clear what mommyfesto did, but what would you do?
