Heh. Yeah. One of the few areas where I put my foot down with my very expressive kid is: no cherry prints. "Why not?" she says. "Get the strawberry fabric instead," I say. "You're weird," she says. This has been going on since she was 14, but I think she's figured it out by now, 3 years later. ;-) It's a ridiculous line to draw in the sand, but I don't want her to unwittingly project some Lolita thing, and I don't want to quash her love to cute cherry prints. She can wear them when she's an adult.

I'm open to negotiation on things like pet snakes and cartilage piercings — but NO DAMN CHERRRIES!
