How Dare She Notice
DD has developed powers of observation. It used to be that I could sort through her toys and clothing and cart off anything too small or neglected – or I just plain didn’t like it. She didn’t ever miss those items.
Now she is poking around in bags and saying, “Hey! Maman! Why is my dress in this bag?”
Because you have suddenly grown two inches and now that dress makes you look like a hooch.
And what about the drum?
It was getting on my nerves, for the last six months. Surely there is a needy child who must have a drum. We had a chat about needy children who need toys that are too aggravating for me to bear.
And I can no longer tell her the truth lest she repeat it. Maman, why are these pants going away? They are not too short.
Well, because they need to be worn by a shorter child with a bigger butt. It is a law of fashion. A butt is necessary to hold up jeans.
What she said: I’m giving you my jeans because you have a bigger butt than I do.
