What’s a onesie?
“What’s a onesie?” I asked.
“It’s like an undershirt for babies,” April said as she folded up a pink little shirt with frills around the sleeves and “little princess” written in blue cursive on the front.
“Okay,” I said. I looked at the little white gown I was holding in my hand and placed it on the onesie pile.
“What’s a sleeper?” I asked.
April glared at me. “It’s what babies sleep in,” she said.
I rummaged through the bag of clothes sitting on the floor in front of me until I found something that looked comfortable to sleep in. It had booties, which seemed right, and written (again in cursive) under a pink butterfly it said, “daddy’s little girl.” I liked this one.
“And which size goes where again?” I asked, looking at the piles of clothes sitting on the coffee table. They all looked the same. They all looked small.
Kelly, our friend visiting from Madrid, pointed at the piles and said, “0-3 months go here, and 3-6 months go there.”
I checked the tag. “3 months,” it said.
“What if it says 3 months?” I asked. “3 months could go on either the 0-3 month pile or the 3-6 month pile.”
Kelly held out her hand, and I passed her the jacket. She held it up to get a look at it and said, “Definitely 0-3 months.” She put it on the pile.
“This one says size 56!” I said. It was the smallest green tank top I had ever seen.
Kelly smiled and reached across the coffee table. I handed it to her.

Hey how did it happen that the whole pile of clothes is PINK? I thought you were going with gender neutral colors, hehe.

I know. Isn’t that funny?
I guess you can’t be as picky when you’re dealing with hand-me-downs
