  Today I watched the scariest show ever! It was called, well, I can't remember exactly, something about "sports mom and dads". The premise was to follow around these obsessed and over-involved parents and their children at sporting events, and let the insanity ensue. So, they were with this mother and her 7 year old daughter at cheerleading competitons! I watched in horror as this 7 year old girl pranced around in skimpy clothing - she doesn't even have a shape to flaunt yet for crying in the mud - and wear this horredous glittery make-up all over her eye lids and lips. Agh. And her mother was so happy about this, cheering her on. Poor kid. I mean, children should be involved in things they enjoy, but why not gymnastics? It's the same thing minus the sick outfits and gobs of make-up. She's only 7, and they have her and her little friends doing these overtly sexy moves. Eww, it was a pedophiles playground!

  Anyway, aside from the show being scary, it also got me thinking about girls and the messages they are being sent today. I mean, this girls mother was already giving a message to her daughter that it's okay to dress in tight, revealing clothing, and use wayyyy to much make-up for the enjoyment of others! Instead of letting her know that she's a beautiful creation of God. Not some doll to be made up and clapped at. Oh well, this could turn into a big rant. I'll spare you all!
