Marled is defined in the urban dictionary as: A smart intelligent gorgeous young female. She has this thing about her, that the more you’re around her, the more you fall in love with her. AttaGirl is defined as: An expression of congratulations or praise directed at a female. With inspiration from these 2 words, I realize that I have raised a daughter who is true to her beliefs and strong in her stance.
