Simply Delightful

One of the topics at the dinner table tonight was the "junior sleepover" birthday party that Tootle is going to this weekend. The party is from 6-9 p.m. , and the kids will wear their pajamas and watch a movie. Nana remarked that she thinks the party guests will include some boys, and the conversation took off from there.

Tootle: I want to smell delightful for the party.

Me: Why? Because there will be boys at the party?

Tootle: Yes.

Her reaction to our fit of laughter was far short of delightful. Later Tootle told me that I must have missed some lessons when I was young since I didn't know that you should smell good for boys. I'm in so much trouble when she's a teenager.
