When she got out El’s pajamas for him to sleep in on that first cool night, he was about to put them on over the white satin panties he was already wearing. Donna stopped him, saying, “You don’t need to wear panties under pajamas, sweetie. That looks kind of silly.”
El frowned deeply, and responded, “But I like sleeping in panties. Those old jammies of mine are so ugly! Can’t I wear just panties, mommie? Please?”
“I think it’s going to be way too cold for that, El. You’d freeze, even with me cuddling up with you. You’d toss and turn all night and neither of us would get any sleep.”
“I think you’re going to be cold too, mommie,” he pointed out. “That thin nightie can’t keep you warm. I can see right through it.”
