So Alice is lacking a bit in personal modesty. Mom has been working on not having her knees up above the table top during dinner but has only had moderate success. Mom makes her wear shorts under her dresses but she takes them off as soon as she gets home.
So Dad decided he’d try some intervention when Alice was laying on her back on the couch clutching her ankles with her knees on her chest. I declared that if Alice showed her butt, then I got to pinch. This made Alice unhappy, so I leaned in close…
Dad: I have a secret plan for you.
Alice: What?
Dad: It’s a clever little scheme.
Alice: What ?!?
Dad: You could not show your butt.
Alice: No I couldn’t.
Clearly it’s a mother / daughter issue and I should leave it Mom’s capable hands.
