Lucy Doesn't Wear Pink
“Lucy kept her end, even though her Christmas presents from Aunt Karen were, just as she’d predicted, clothes, clothes, and more clothes, except for the manicure kit and the CD player. It didn’t surprise her that everything, including the boom box, was pink.
That wouldn’t have been so bad if the coat , too, hadn’t been “Peppermint Delight,” as the tag read, and with fur around the hood no less. The rest she could shove to the back of her closet when Aunt Karen left and be done with it, but a down coat she’d be expected to wear every day, especially since Aunt Karen declared her now-torn jean jacket a disaster that no niece of hers was going to be seen wearing in public. Lucy had to fish it out of the trash can after Aunt Karen went to bed.
But Lucy didn’t argue the next morning when Aunt Karen popped into her room before she was even up and said, “You’re going to wear your new outfit to church, right?”
“Of course.” Lucy said, squeezing Lollipop to keep from adding, I really WANT to loo...k like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.MoreLess
