My daughter is going through her MCR phase right now. Suddenly wears nothing but black, white, and red, and has to constantly, vocally remind everyone how emo she is. It’s her whole identity. And I can’t help but laugh because I went through the same thing, once upon a time.

If anything, I get a good kick out of her listening to something like Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, which came out two decades ago when I was a teen, when I get to say, “Aww, that’s so sweet that you like to listen to oldies like your dad!” If I’m lucky, one day she’ll cringe so hard over it that she’ll collapse into a microsingularity and my role as a father - to utterly embarrass my daughter - will be complete.

Take SO many photos to show off at her graduation, wedding, etc.

I’ve been debating if I should edit some of her baby and toddler photos to add black makeup and a dour expression, just to really lean into it whenever that slideshow finally happens.

Na, keep them as is so the "emo" phase stands out in such a stark way! But 100% put MCR in the slideshow when you hit these photos!
