Once upon a time there was a little girl, her name was Mai. She was a fun little girl. She liked to explore the world. Her hair was cut in a cute little bob. Her favorite grandmother bought her a twirly dress.

When Mai saw that twirly dress she didn't really know what it was all about, but her grandmother explained that this twirly dress was special. Mai put it on, partly because she loved her grandmother, and partly because the dress was pink. Her grandmother told her that if she spun around very quickly on one spot, that dress would swirl and spin and fly out. Mai tried it, and sure enough, when she turned around very quickly one one foot, even on the heel of the foot or the toe of the other foot, that dress would fly out and make a gorgeous flairy circle out in the air.

Mai thought that that was very exciting, especially because when she ran around playing, or went shopping with her mom the dress would act like a normal dress acts. It had a place for her head to go, and it had places to put her arms, it settled nicely around her waist and from there it draped down to almost her knees. But every time she spun- that dress would fly out. Mai liked it! She had this dress that could do this special thing! And that dress would only do that special thing when Mai told it to. Mai was really really happy and grew very confident playing in her twirly dress.

Well Mai's mom... for a while she was happy with that dress to, but then when the dress would get dirty, and Mai's mom wanted to put it in the washing machine, Mai would complain because she wanted to wear that dress, and she didn't really like her other dresses anymore. Her mom had to pull that dress out of the washing machine, put it in the dryer, and run the dryer cycle before Mai got dressed in the morning to go to preschool. So after a while Mai's mom bought another twirly dress. This one was purple, and it had butterflies. When Mai's grandmother heard about this she laughed, and she bought Mai another twirly dress. This one was a lovely Apricot color and it had green ferns and big fuschia flowers on it.

Mai was really happy about the whole affair, and everyday the question was shall we wear the original pink twirly dress, shall we wear the apricot twirly dress with the big fuschia flowers, or shall we wear the butterfly purple twirly dress.

That is everything Mai wore that summer. It was a very easy summer for Mai's mom, and she really was impressed with how well the dresses held. They did not shrink, fade, or fall apart- at all. She was also impresses with how easy it was to get Mai dresses in the morning.

Mai loved her twirly dresses, and Mai's little girlfriends from preschool loved her twirly dresses also, so they had to get a few. Sharon got a polka dot one, and little Anette got a twirly skirt, with a frilly tee to go with it.

I could say that they all twirled happily ever after, but that's not really true because at some point they became preteens. But you know what? That is a story for another website.
