Before Allie left for Florida with the Daniele's, Allen gave her "The Talk". He explained, again, about the nature of men, and how the objective of any fellow on spring break is not marriage. He warned Allie and Mara to be wary of "pathetic, pimply-faced college boys", and to stay close to Mr. Tony for protection. Allie bristled at being so insulted and mistrusted.
Last night, when I spoke with her on the phone, she described her activities as shopping, swimming, and eating. She said to let her dad know she was faithfully fighting off the hoards of "pimply-faced college boys" who found her irresistible.
She then admitted her surprise at finding so many beautiful men in Florida:
"Mom! The guys here are so beautiful! I've never seen such beautiful men, and they are everywhere. They are so beautiful, that instead of talking to me about spring breakers, Dad should have come here and talked to the spring breakers about me."
Sigh.
