I love them all, but number 1 is number one! What’s a mother to do? Something different, starting at least 3 years earlier.

In number 3, the man is right. A nudist camp should be a big order for them! With #4, the salesman’s smooth flattery seems to be working; #5 not so much. #8 is wonderful, and probably based on fact. I suspect they all were.
