Daddy’s telling nicknames for his four girls:
Donna is Happy-Go-Lucky. No matter how many troubles storm upon her, she is happy-go-lucky.
Barbara is Hot Shot. She struts her stuff with a sharp edge.
Maria is Mona Lisa. She has the stature of a princess in her smile.
Jean. His nickname for me? He calls me Smartie. Know-it-all, know-all, clever.
