“…it sounds silly now.”

“Go on,” I said.

“But not this.” Mum grinned and I smiled coyly back.

I looked at the back of my hand, my outstretched fingers, and my pale pink nails. “Or these.”

I closed my hand and looked at her.

The question is ambiguous.

“Not pose as my imaginary PA…” Mum added,

“…but dress up?”

“Er…

I guess it depends.” I replied.
