It ended up being a much sweeter tale than I had originally planned.
It was just one of those days where I was online looking for something to inspire me into something I could craft into a caption, and this image managed to say something to me .. mainly about how short the girl in the chair was .. and I liked that contrast between who she was now, and how much taller she probably was before the magic.
Then, I thought, well maybe it's my mom and she's always punishing me with this chore in helping her with her dance troop .. and I have a friend that decides that it's actually a pretty cool "punishment". Once I had that in mind, I thought it'd work well with a longtime friend of mine from the Haven, Totalditz.
And there could have been some humiliation or compulsions added at the end, but hey, it's Ashlee; and I wanted to lean into the "Mother always knows intuition," trope .. so having my mom know exactly which one of my friends was more into femininity seemed like a good way to end it. Hey, maybe Ma Mentia will be the caring, helpful "auntie" that Ashlee needs to figure out her own life and get the support she needs? I hope so!
I am going to try to post something over Memorial Day Weekend. Nothing planned or set in stone, but I'd like to keep busy, and maybe whipping up a caption might fit that bill. Anyone have exciting plans for the long weekend? Tell us below!
Also, if you would like to see some summer captions, let me know what type would float your metaphorical boat .. maybe I can be obliging to your requests!
I have no problems with the band Ratt. Really good hair band that understood there needed to be songs underneath the flash. I will listen to the "Best of" at least once a year, and the tunes are still fresh!
