Girl’s Demand For An Odd Gift On Her Birthday Triggers An Unexpected Reaction From Her Dad

A Teenage Girl

Kelsey Frederick was going to enter a new phase of her life. Kelsey had a special wish on this birthday. No need to say that the girl was very excited about her birthday. Her parents had split up so the girl used to celebrate her birthday both with her father and mother separately.  As this birthday was very special for her she wanted to do something different. No doubt the girl was going to have a big party. However, little did she know that her birthday was indeed going to be very special but in a way that she had never imagined. She thought of arranging a sleepover with her good friends.

A Challenge

Choosing a perfect gift for a girl is quite challenging. Especially, for someone like Kelsey who had seen a lot in her childhood. Moreover, her hobbies were quite different from the girls of her age. So clearly, her parents were still in doubt about what to give her. Kelsey was fine with any kind of gift but there was one thing that she had a big “NO” for. It was glitz. She was not someone one could call “girly-girl.” So, she made only one request. She hoped that whatever gift her parents were planning was not too sparkly or pink. In order to narrow down to the best gift for her, Christin decided to take help from her friends and family. Kelsey had a keen interest in playing softball. She had all the equipment needed for the sport. What else did she like? She enjoyed fishing. She would go on fishing with her cousins. But that would be odd to gift fishing gear to her during the party.

Request

As it is common in Kesley’s age kids, she liked experimenting with her hair. She would also do make-up with her friends. For obvious reasons, the girl loved attending weddings which would give her the opportunity to do makeup. Christin was well aware of Kelsey’s affection for makeup. However, she did have no idea what Kelsey was going to demand for her birthday. Kelsey told her mother, “Mom, I want to get highlights for my birthday.” The little girl was willing to style her hair with blonde highlights. Christin did not see this coming.

Nails Too

The request seemed ordinary but Christin doubted if her wish to get highlights on her hair sprung out of the lack of confidence. Was she not confident about the way she looked? People of her age often find their confidence depleting as they began to give more importance to their looks. This really bothered Christin. But at the same time, Christin remembered that she too had got highlights on her hair before Kelsey was born. Maybe that’s what had influenced her. There was nothing to worry about. Christin knew which salon to choose for that. The woman used to get her hair done in a particular salon for many years now. And the salon’s services also included pedicures, manicures, and massages. Kelsey for sure was going to love it. As Christin had a good acquaintance with the salon’s staff, they even gave them a good discount.

There Was She

Kelsey looked at herself in the mirror and could not take her eyes off her beautiful hair. Those highlights had completely changed her look. Even Christin could not believe that it was her daughter. She looked stunning. The highlights were totally going with her face. And that big smile on her face made her look prettier.
