daddy takes a peek

Helena wants to be a fashion designer. Her daddy was talked into buying her an old mannequin. She loved it ever so much and spent days with it. What is she creating in there? He asked her mother. Why don’t you go find out, she suggested. He asked if he could take a peek. Sure! Helena said. Come on in! She had fashioned a bra out of bottle caps. Her daddy was speechless. He asked his wife is Helena planned to wear it. That’s anybody’s guess, his wife said. She is sixteen.
