K has developed a superpower. She is:
NAKED GIRL
Disrobing faster than a speeding bullet, able to perform the most advanced naked couch yoga, and immune to even the coldest, nipple hardening, draft.
In this episode of Naked Girl, our hero tries to convince The Evil Momster to let her go to preschool bare assed. We join our hero as she sits at the breakfast table… Eating breakfast. The Evil Momster turns
and walks five steps to the sink. When the Evil Momster turns back, Naked Girl is wearing nothing but a smile. And so the battle begins:
Naked Girl: Mom, my pants are wet.
The Evil Momster: You’re not wearing any pants.
Naked Girl: Oh.
The Evil Momster re-dresses Naked Girl. Naked Girl may have lost this battle, but our hero has many tricks up her… Well, wherever she keeps them.
Our hero creeps silently from the Evil Momsters sight, and
Our hero is naked again, this time fleeing the scene, the unrestrained glee of streaking making her so fast that she is no more than a blur of tiny butt cheeks. At the naked yoga couch, The Evil Momster catches up to her. Naked Girl tries valiantly to intercept The Evil Momster even before the impending battle begins:
Naked girl: I don’t have to wear pants.
The Evil Momster: I’m pretty sure you do.
Naked Girl: (FLASH of toddler brilliance) No, Miss Jenna said.
The Evil Momster: Your preschool teacher told you that it was okay to come to school with no pants?
Naked Girl: (Triumphantly) Yes.
Our Hero thinks she has won the war, The Evil Momster must certainly yield to the rules of the most beloved and almighty preschool teacher, mustn’t she?
No, The Evil Momster seems to have some lie detecting sensory perception and knows, somehow, that Naked Girl had never actually had this conversation with the beloved and beautiful Miss Jenna.
The Evil Momster: Has Miss Jenna ever come to school without pants?
Naked Girl: no.
The Evil Momster re-dresses and restrains Naked Girl in some sort of transportation device.
You may have won this round, Evil Momster, but Naked Girl will be back!
Stay tuned for the next episode of Naked Girl, when you’ll see our hero find out how cold it is outside with no clothes on.

Right? It’s not like I don’t understand her fetish, and I let her run around the house naked… But it’s sort of frowned upon in public, and it was 8 degrees out yesterday morning. Of course, in the nice warm house, she thought 8 degrees must be simply tropical. I should’ve sent her our the back door for a minute… Although, with her stubborn streak she’d probably have had to have all her fingers and toes amputated before she came in.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. K hates getting her shirt over her head, but it seems that she only hates it when the shirt goes ON.
My sister had to duct tape my niece’s diaper in order to keep it on her, thank your lucky stars that he hasn’t figured out how to get his off yet!
And when he does, the technique is: stand the child in front of you, apply the duct tape to the diaper tabs, and spin the child around at least twice.

I could totally be okay with K having skipped this phase of life. This morning she called to me from her bedroom– what sounded to me like– “Mommy, I kept my clothes on!”, but my son was there and informed me that, no, she actually said “Mommy, I can’t put my clothes on”.
This too shall pass.

You know, that’s a good idea. I wonder if she would be so quick to prance around naked if I took all my clothes off and did some naked yoga on the couch.
Of course, that would be a punishment for everyone, not just K. I don’t think I’ve shaved my legs since October.
I’m not looking forward to the teenage years. It’s not fun trying to raise yourself, the only one who’s enjoying it is my mother, who finally got her wish– I got one just like me.

I feel you on that– it took J until December to admit that it was, in reality, and not just in my warped Mom brain, too cold to wear tee-shirts and/or shorts to school every day. The best was when he would come out in a heavy winter sweater and jeans shorts, proclaiming his studliness for all the world to know. He was agape with wonder at how I could possibly think his ensemble was anything but catwalk-worthy.

Why don’t you invent clothes that do the same thing? You know, like those joke birthday candles which re-ignite when you blow them out. It’ll be easy. Just invent magic straps or something. You can thank me later.
Although it might cause 1 or 2 problems around pyjama time. Still, that’s not my problem.

You mean like a straight jacket? Those straps are pretty magical. Or perhaps I could tattoo clothes all over her, so that when she strips down to the bare necessities, she’s still clothed… In a sense. Now that would be frustrating for her. Cause you can’t run away from your own skin.
I don’t really worry about pajamas anymore. The disappointment I feel in the morning, when she comes flying out of her room butt-ass nekkid, is too much. I might as well just let her sleep in the buff.

We just need someone to market it properly for us. Someone to make parents understand just how necessary this item is for them, in order to function properly in their daily lives.
And we have to make it fashionable. Leopard print, neon colors, I’m seeing a cute little leopard print straightjacket with a little leopard head for the child, and a matching leash (sold separately).

Why are you nakey? I love it. We should be allowed to run around naked whenever we like, however, in real life there are creepy white vans with “Free candy and puppies” spray painted on the side, so I think The Evil Momster will continue her quest to clothe Naked Girl. At least till she’s a teenager. Then… I don’t want to think about it.

Thanks for the retweet– Always welcome, and the screenplay is still under review. They wanted a PG-13 rating, but it seems the writers are having a hard time writing a screenplay that only shows Naked Girl’s face and one or two shots of her upper torso, from the side. I don’t know when auditions will be, as naked children are kind of frowned upon in the biz.
