Holly: Mom! A boy has a crush on Alix! We need to buy her a dress! Val: If a boy has a crush on Alix, he must like her just the way she is. Holly: But - someone needs to teach her the ways of womanhood. Val: Like... how to shop for a mortgage... earn a living... find comfortable shoes? Holly: Like how to apply mascara without clumping!!
