They're not "butt cheeks," they're "sugar cookies."

In a conversation with one of my daughters, a few years ago, when they were both still in elementary:

Me: those shorts are too short, unroll them. (In my defense, booty cheeks were showing – we call them “sugar cookies”.)

Her: but then they have this ugly fringe.

Me: fringe looks cute. Denim cut-offs are in style (not really knowing if this is true).

Her: I don't want to wear them that way.

Me: well, then, you need to find other shorts, because that's too much leg.
