When they told us the sex of the baby, I began to think about the supposed advantages of having a girl. And the first thing that came to my mind is that surely she had a quieter childhood… Then she would see herself. How wrong I was! We got a girl who can’t stand still for a second, who likes soccer, karate and climbing walls. You just have to look at the number of shoes that she ‘polishes’ a year.

I think that those who design shoes for boys and girls make them with soles that wear out more easily than those for adults, because I can say that in less than a month there are already very worn out soles. How is it possible! Leaving aside the cost that some of these shoes have when they are ‘brand’, the reality is that children do not stand still and this garment is one of those that involves the most expense for families.

But it is that, in addition, in the case of our daughter it has also come out ‘fashion’. She has it all. As it is already starting its YouTube phase, despite us, it already looks at what those youtubers who became famous put on. And then she makes us look for colored sneaker laces to match the shirt or the hair bow. Amazing. But the truth is that she enjoys it a lot and we try not to clip her wings too much because the girl, it must be said, is super applied at school: that is, she knows when to study, and when to enjoy, which is not always so simple Not even for adults.

So I don’t think it’s as bad to help her with her passions as colored shoelaces. She shows me everything she likes on the internet and she tells me that this or that shoe is ‘super cool’… because she wears Fulanito or Menganita. And of course, I start to think that I also dressed paying attention to my musical and cultural heroes and I can’t help but smile and think that nothing changes, although now everything revolves around digital and screens.
