when gothy was younger mummy always raved over how exquisite she was. and when she was younger she smiled through all her photoshoots. and when she was younger she loved being told how pretty she looked. when rehab was younger mummy always marveled over how sweet she was. and when she was younger she had the prettiest manners in her family. and when she was younger she loved being told how nicely she behaved. when sminty was younger mummy always adored how independent she was. and when she was younger she would walk ahead of her nanny all by herself. and when she was younger she loved being told how brave she acted. when bay was younger mummy always loved how adventurous she could be. and when she was younger she was willing to try any new food at least once. and when she was younger she loved being told how grown up she seemed. except they all finally did have to get older. so now gothy doesn't smile at being pretty and rehab doesn't grin at good etiquette and sminty doesn't like being brave and bay doesn't want to be so mature. and none of them quite understand why growing up is part of their lives or at least why no one told them it's this painful.
