My daughter and I had a long discussion about the plain frock like gown thjat girls and working ladies used to wear. I never got her to accept that it wasn't called a pininform. A few weeks ago she had to admit that I was right. Then she came out with a good one, that "Bonanza" is in fact called Bonzana. mmmmmmm
