The Little Girl Next Door Well when I was sixteen a small child approached me as I walked back to the house from getting the mail out of the mailbox. "Hello want to play?" she asked while smiling with her two front teeth missing. The child was wearing little pigtails held up by beautiful pink bows, she has thin dark brown hair, and the big light brown eyes that were full of passion and hope. The little girls outfit was dark, blue, jean overalls that had a skirt at the bottom instead of pants. Under the overalls, she had a dark/light pink shirt. Her shoes were light, pink tennis shoes, with white laces that were both untied. The child had white socks that stopped above her ankle, with a dark pink lace that went around the top. I know that was long ago, but I met sixteen year old the other day who had the same smile, but she had her front teeth, the same eyes, and the same hair, but now it was long. She came up to me and asked if I wanted to come meet her younger sister, I did refuse because I didn't know who she was.......but now I regret it. Because that young girl is now woman and I'm now twenty five and have a daughter of my own who looks just like that young girl....... And maybe if I said yes my daughter could play with her unlike I played with her.......
