"I can't smile, daddy.
The dress pinches me."


"Oh, come on sweetheart,
your sister's getting maried."


"So."



"This is a day we want to
remember and smile on."



"So."



"I'll take you to get and
ice cream cone when we're
done."



"So."



The father thinks.



"You're going to get
your sister's room."



She smiles.
