Restrictions
Wednesday, July 9, 2008 at 11:30PM Daddy is allowed to wear one of eight or nine T-shirts, total!
Anything else is not allowed.
The little one screams her head off!! if daddy wears anything else.
Turns away from daddy. One minute she is clingy and the next minute she is absolutely horrified that her daddy has become a shirt, coat, different color T-Shirt wearing monster!
We had observed this once before when daddy took a red T-shirt from the "archives", and wore it for old times sake, and she screamed. So, the T-shirt was changed again quickly, just to stop her. Not much was made of that incident.
At a company anniversary party, daddy decided to wear his old Tuxedo and she would refuse to come to him. To daddy's horror, she never came near him at the entire party and clung to mommy the whole time. Everyone called daddy a horrible liar for claiming that the little one was attached to him at all times!
Today, it was a 100+ degrees here! Came home and removed the T-shirt and stood in the hallway for a minute in my baniyan(in shirt). The little one starts panicking again.
LO : "Daddy, please wear the shirt. Dont be nanga thanga!(naked)"..
Me : But I am wearing a Baniyan! I am not nanga thanga. It is so hot..
LO : Please wear T-shirt back, NOW!!
and then goes to Mom and complains that she is scared of daddy not wearing T-shirt.
Next minute, I removed the baniyan and wore the T-Shirt and she ran back and climbed on my shoulders, smiled and gave me a big kiss.
Strange.. very strange..
Need to find a way to get her used to a multi colored daddy!

Hi,
My younger son is almost as old as your little one. I had the exact same experience with him when I went to parties and would wear a salwar / saree. He would totally disown me, when I am dressed like that. The other times when I am dressed in regular clothes, he sticks to me like a leech :)

Ask her to pick a Tshirt for you that she hasn't seen before and then wear it to please the little lady .
