with your friends.”

“I’d rather stay in if I have to wear any of that stuff,” I said.

“Well seeing as you’re both staying in, how’s about wearing something ‘really’ pretty.” she grinned.

“It’s all ‘really’ pretty.” Peter sneered.

“I’m glad you think so Peter,” Mum replied.

“Why don’t you choose today, and Paul can choose tomorrow?”

Not surprisingly, Peter refused to choose… until Mother said,

“Well in that case,

I’ll choose for you,

and I’ll tell you now,

you’ll be wearing a nice pink one…

the only problem is,

which pink one?

You’ve got so many.”

“OK OK… I

‘ll choose.” Peter said.

He settled for one of the blue ones…

the only one that didn’t have a big bow on the front.
