"You see," Ivy began, "it was inevitable, 'cause Kiki challenged me to a hill race at recess but there aren't any hills in our playground so we had to wait 'til the weekend. And Daddy took me to the park first. And Kiki said if I didn't roll down the hill then it was just 'cause I couldn't beat her and I knew I could. So I had to. Even though it was my nice clothes." She smoothed a hand down the skirt, nervously, then added, "I won."

Her mother sighed. "Child of mine," she began, then stopped, rubbing her forehead. Finally, she said, "I think it's time you learned to do your own laundry."

Somehow, Ivy was not reassured.

Hahaha, that is fully justified, Ivy!

Poor long-suffering Gail, lol.

Great work!
