Garden Variety

“Hi Papa! Do you like my new sundress?”

“Turn around so I can see it.”

“It goes real high if I spin around fast!”

“I can see that.”

“I picked it out just for you.”

“It’s lovely, dear. Especially when you hold it over your head like that.”

“Do you like the color?”

“Of course. You look perfect in pink.”

“It’s fuchsia, technically.”

“Um, okay.”

“So. Do you like my new sandals?”

“I’m not a fan of the plastic flowers.”

“I’ll kick them off then. Don’t need sandals anyway.”

“Where are you going, now?”

“Out to the garden.”

“What for?”

“To put real flowers in between my toes.”

“Fine but hurry back.”

“Why?”

“So I can tend to the flowers on your panties.”
