Fun with Prepositions
My beloved and I gave our girl a pair of flowered tights for Christmas, which she recently got around to wearing. Most of the 27 pairs she has currently are a size 2-4, but I grabbed these dandies in a 4-6x.
Well, it turns out 4-6x is quite a lot bigger than 2-4. Quite.
As I watched her pull them on for the first time, I commented, "Wow, those are pretty spacious, kiddo."
She looked up at me and said reassuringly, "But these will grow into me, Mommy."
Her choice of words called to mind the black ooze from Spiderman 3 and made me long for such a garment, which would make the interminable process of getting dressed in the morning one step shorter.
