Blooming Conversations

Mayflower - Mom, when will I start blooming (she says while in the bathroom doing hair)?
DB - I don't know sweetie. Everyone's different. Have any of the girls in your class started blooming?
M- Yea. A couple. But a lot in my grade!
DB - Wow. So they wear bras and stuff?
M- Yea (as she looks in the mirror and presses her shirt down).
DB- Anything goin' on there yet?
M - Maybe! I think so!
DB - Hmmmm (nodding encouragingly). We'll see!

That's bloomin' hilarious! Exactly how do you keep a straight face?

Practice. Lots of practice.

How many years now has Mayflower been talking about when she starts 'blooming'? I just can't figure out where she picked up that phrase. None of the rest of us ever used the word 'blooming'...

My guess is that she heard the phrase "a late (or early) bloomer" somewhere. It's still pretty funny.

Tell her I wish mine would bloom a little more too.
