My Poor Girl...

....I thought we had plenty of time to deal with things like developing body parts, talks about the monthly visitor, skin issues...you know, teenage stuff. I mean after all she is only 8.

But she has something called precocious puberty. So we have been dealing with some of these things for a few years now and some are just coming up in conversation.

This morning she shows me her forehead and says she has a bumpy spot and it kind of hurts. Well she is breaking out, poor baby. I tell her not to worry it is just a pimple (well it was a little patch of them) and she responds with "Oh you mean zits?" and goes on to tell me that's what a lot of people call them. (she watches Hannah Montana, iCarly and the like). I feel so unprepared for this conversation and the many that are to follow...all I could think of to say was "Well at least it behind your bangs so no one will see it"

Urgh....fail!!!
