Strawberry smiles

Alex is definitely not going to that boy's bar mitzvah. Luckily he's not mad at her (and she's not mad at me) and she went to his house after school today. While I was at work I got a call from Alex saying she'd been invited to stay for dinner, asking if she could stay. It worked out perfectly timing-wise and Dani came with me to pick Alex up.

Danielle met me at work and we went to the boy's house from there. When we arrived the mother asked if we could stay for dessert. Free food? Hell yeah! She'd made this fancy layered strawberry thing with tons of whipped cream that was really good. I think there was like , maybe angel food cake in it? All of us loved it, so I have to figure out how to make this strawberry thing.

It turns out she is an orthodontist. Said all three of us have the same smile. Told her husband to drive us home. It's very embarrassing when a grownup is uncomfortable dropping us off where we live. I told Alex she has to go back and find out about the strawberry dessert.
