Thought I Could Slip One By You

Before my trip to Africa, we were on a walk one evening after dinner.

Allison: Mommy, will you bring us home presents from Africa?

Me: Oh yes.

Allison: Can you bring me something girlishy?

Me: Sure. Like what?

Allison: Like an African dress, and an African scarf, and a certificate to get my ears pierced.
