I fear that Belle is getting a little cynical.
She came home from school on Friday with the sad news that this year she hadn’t made it into the school dance troupe. “Never mind,” I said, “I’ve got you a little something to make up for it!”
She looked suspicious.
“What if I had got in?” she asked.
“Well, ” I said, caught a little off guard, “it would have been a congratulation present!”
“Did you buy it or do I have to review it?” she asked.
Damn.
