Cute Will Get You Places

"How come she always gets away with stuff?" Baby Girl's sometimes-grown-up brother asked as he put our tray on the table.

Baby Girl batted her eyelashes at him and plucked a chicken nugget out of the wrapper. We all laughed.

"Because she's so sweet," I said, and placed a burger in front of him. "Being cute doesn't hurt, either."

He chewed a fry, then responded, "I guess cute will get you places."

Baby Girl muttered, "That won't last forever."

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Proverbs 31:30
