Ladies and gentlemen

I love hearing about these father-daughter dances being held this spring by many of our local Girl Scout troops. What a great idea, showing elementary-school girls how they deserve to be treated by a date! The photos just melt your heart: grinning girls in pretty dresses or leggings, hair in barrettes or a French braid, and their proud, good-sport Dads in a jacket and tie or a blue sport coat and khakis. Everybody is just beaming.
A friend of mine who just won a Pulitzer prize for his newspaper photography even made a charming little video of his daughter's dance, edited to the tune of "What Makes You Beautiful" by the boy-band One Direction.
