[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 502884, member: 11791"] "Pretty" isn't in our vocabulary, except in it's alternate incarnation... "pretty soon" and so on. "Pretty is as pretty does." If either kid (we cover both genders) is dressed really appropriately, we tell them they look "sharp". If they dress like slobs, we tell them they look like... slobs. Pretty is not something to be, or to pursue. In fact, in our house, even [I]beauty[/I] isn't something to pursue. Your looks are... whatever you happened to get. What matters is what YOU put into that package. Which means.. daughter gets absolutely crucified at school, because all the other girls are... only interested in "being pretty", which in the common vernacular, essentially means "being pretty sleazy".
