Because I'm Too Chicken to Post this to Facebook

I don't have daughters, only beautiful, smart, tenacious nieces, and I would never want them to think that they need to wait to be "picked" or chosen. I hope that they will pursue their dreams, with full confidence, knowing that love will find them when the time is right. I want them to own the orchard, not wait at the top of the apple tree until some boy comes along to choose them.

You know how much I love Feminist Mormon Housewives -- a lot of things there just really speak to me. Not everything, but a lot of things. Lisa designed this new tree, based on the one going around Facebook. You can go here to read about it. Yes, that meme really, really discouraged and annoyed me, but I'm not smart or creative enough to come up with the amazing parody that she did. I'll see if I can find a link to the original. Oh, here it is.
