I get that. DD actually gets a lot more attention for her appearance (i.e., blonde curls). I consider myself (and herself) fortunate that she's got other unusual features that sometimes garner ambivalent or even negative comments. Once a woman in the grocery store saw her, froze, stared for a minute, and then said, "That face works." Uhhh...thanks? grin

The lady in the grocery store was gushing over my dd3. She actually said to her "I bet it's difficult for your mommy to get mad at you." I just said "oh, you'd be surprised." She really is very pretty and we get constant stares. Sometimes I just want to say, "you think she's cute, you should see how smart she is" but I resist the temptation. Ironically dd3 dresses in boy clothes and is a total tomboy.
