10 Creepy Things Every Daughter Will Eventually Do
byJennifer Germano
Sometimes I sit and I watch my daughter play and the things she does seriously creep me out. Then, of course, I think back on all the things I remember doing as a kid, and realize that "creepy" is pretty "normal." Still, my forced nostalgia doesn't change the fact that I catch my little girl doing all of those quintessential creepy things only daughters do. Perhaps this is my karma and, if that's the case, I'm so sorry, dear parents of mine. I get it now. I totally get it.
Of course, this isn't to say that boys or people's sons are creepy either because, trust me, they are. My friend's brother would take her barbies and burn them in the fireplace. I mean, he was basically Sid from Toy Story; taking toys apart and putting them back together with different parts from different toys. However, my friend and I did some creepy things, too. I remember one birthday party in particular; we hung up her creepiest barbies on a pipe in the basement with masking tape upside down to make sure they didn't go anywhere. You guys, that's pretty freakin' creepy and I'm not all that proud but, hey, it is what it is.
At the end of the day, I think kids in general are pretty creepy, and their assigned gender has absolutely nothing to do with it. However, rarely are little girls or daughters described as anything other than "cute" or "adorable" or "pretty," so I don't mind taking a second to outline all the creepy things my daughter does. I mean, equality, right? So, with that in mind, here are just a few things my daughter has done that have legit sent shivers down my spine. Thanks a lot, kid.
