Going Out

Its a ritual
for woman.
For girls.
To get
ready
to go out.
A date.
A dinner.
A play or a
dance.
We get just as
much pleasure
from the
getting
ready as the
actual going
out.
tonight we
are going
to a play.
You never get
out so you
started early.
I only took
30 min.
It does not
take me long.
I have been
dating a lot
lately
so I can get
ready in no
time.
I was watching
you get ready
and I forgot
how much
I loved
the getting ready
piece.
I just rushed
through
it.
Hmm.
so I went back
into the bathroom
and decided
to make my hair
look special.
I made little
twists, with
finger waves.
It takes me
about 30 min.
but when its
done..
It looks so beautiful.
You come
downstairs and
I help you finish.
Do something
fun with my hair.
You say, you
smile like a little
girl.
I fix your hair and
put a little
clip to
the side.
so Sweet.
How does it
look?
You say...
Beautiful, Momma.
As we leave the house
you say..
With a giggle
I feel like we
are going to Prom.
We both Laugh.
We head out
to our play
and the getting
ready made
me remember
why I love
being a woman.
We can transform
ourselves
so easily.
We have
the ease
of change.
Transformation.
No Man can
do this.
So now
we head to
the car
and you
yell like
you are 16.
WE ARE GOING OUT!
And so we are.
