Girl Who Needed Her Dad to Help Get Undressed

Laurie was about three when one night she requested my aid in getting undressed. I was downstairs and she was upstairs, and … well. “You know how to undress yourself,” I reminded her. “Yes,” she explained, ‘but sometimes people need people anyway, even if they do know how to do things by themselves.” (William C. Schultz, in Bits and Pieces, Dec. 1990)
