What’s the deal with the pink clothes for little girls?
And if they’re not pink, they’re cutesy. Nurse Angry is disturbed. Many if not most of the clothes we have been lent or given (thank you) by other people are in different nuances of pink. Nurse Angry doesn’t have anything against the color pink. Some of her best friends are pink. For example, Nurse Angry loves flamingos.
Does this pink fixation stem from a fear that we will not be able to see who is a boy and who is a girl? Recently, when buying a few items of children’s clothing, Nurse Angry mentioned to the salesperson that she was trying hard to avoid buying anything pink for her daughter, which was not proving easy. Salesperson said that every other customer said the same thing. Nurse Angry now shops in the boys department for things like pajamas and socks to avoid the pink princesses and puppies, etc. Three-year old loves her multicolored stripy pj’s and the ones with green and black monsters on them. Luckily, she doesn’t seem to understand that her garments should always be pink.
Thankfully, Three-year old has a new favorite color every few days. Sometimes it’s pink. Nurse Angry made the unfortunate mistake of taking Three-year old with her to return a black jacket that was the wrong size. Readers have already understood what color jacket we came home with. Most irritating is that Three-year old is obsessed with tights and leggings. This inexplicable personal mania has now been extended to include Nurse Angry. “Mamma, tomorrow you can wear leggings”.
Only if they’re black 😉

Hälsningar från en annan svartmamma
Say no more, Helena. Nurse Angry went to a toy store for the first time this Christmas and was horrified by the choices. 90% of the stuff her three-year old was given this year was either pink or came in a pink package. Seriously, when given a choice between pink and black, even Nurse Angry might choose pink just to give life a little color. Nurse Angry despairs.
Vi måste nog befria både rosa och svart från dem som har bestämt att färger ska stå för något särskilt (bra eller dåligt), och göra som vi vill. Med Riley och din 3-åring och andra egensinniga små tjejer och killar finns det hopp om framtiden! Gott nytt år!
