Fur

Look at my daughter. Have you ever seen such a sweet little Snow White? I want to eat her.

What you can't see in this picture is her back. If you did see it, you'd see that it is covered in black hair. Seriously. I promise you that you've never seen anything like it. I can most accurately describe it anecdotally:

I took her to the park to play with my friend's daughter. She peed in her pants, and when I was changing her, the back of her shirt rode up. My friend's little girl pointed and said, "Hey Mommy, she has fur!"

I mentioned it to her previous pediatrician and expressed concern. First, I wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with her--hormones or whatever. Then I wanted to know if it would fall out on its own. And finally, I wanted to know if he had any thoughts on hair removal in preschoolers. Here's what he said, "You're of meditteranean descent and she shares your genes. It's what makes her unique."

I almost punched him in his penis. First of all, I'm not of "meditteranean descent". I'm of Jewish girl from LA decsent, and my great grandparents were from Russia. Also, I'm not particularly hairy. But most importantly, back hair is not what makes my child special, you retarded douche.

I actually love her back hair. She was covered in hair when she was born and I thought it was cute in a way only a mother can. But I know for a fact that if we do nothing about it, it will be a source of torture for her. She already gets teased by older kids. Thankfully, she's too oblivious to notice, but that'll end soon.

When she's 13 and demands it, we'll get it lasered off, but what to do between now and then? I worry.
