You can be thankful you're a girl because: you can cry at the movies (or if your tender feelings get hurt)...look adorable in pink...give in to the giggles...luxuriate in bubble baths
...brush
out your long, silky hair-or crop it as close as a boy's! You don't have to carry heavy suitcases...
and you're not expected to spend money on dates! Skirts and pants hang in your closet...
you may wear a different color every day of the week...sewing and cooking are fundamental for you.
And, lucky you, you can watch instead of play football!
You smell good...no one expects you to have a sense of direction...you can wear jewelry...blushes
become you...you don't have to be either an athlete or a brain! Make the most of batting
your eyes, and change your mind as often as you like...even be a little bit fickle and you'll find
that you get away with it! High heels give you a lift...and so does a smile from your beau.
You'll never have to shave every day-or get a haircut every three weeks!
You feel no shame in admitting your ignorance...
you can be a "type"-or change your type when you've a mind to...the dance floor is your idea of
heaven...and there will always be a boy who says you're his idea of heaven...Your daddy calls you
his "best girl" (and so does Grandpa)...you have a treasure-trove in your cosmetic kit...and can
daydream while you do your nails...games are fun for you-not a life-or-death contest...you can
curl up with a sentimental novel on a rainy day
Okay, you can take it from there with the fun ideas, but don't forget the more serious side. It's
heaven to be a girl because, someday, you'll really fall in love with the most wonderful boy in
the world...make that thrilling walk down the aisle and, best of all, you'll know the joys of
being a wife and mother. So let's all give thanks!
and your make-up can
cover a multitude of faults...slumber parties were invented just for you...you have a best friend
to whisper your secrets to
...you can have a ball in the kitchen-and then hear the gang ask for
seconds...your room is blue, or pink, or chartreuse-but it reflects the real you...No one minds
if you're illogical (or even scatterbrained once in a while)...
...or spend a whole afternoon trying out fabulous
new hairstyles...
