It is a rather glamorous frock for Brittany, and we had been waiting for another wedding or similar event for its first outing.
"Ooh where are you off to tonight?" I say. "Fancy party is it?"
"Not really. It's Pierre's birthday."
"Well why are you wearing your fancy dress?"
"It is a Ca Ca party."
Those of you who understand French will know that this is a reference to poot, poo or number twos. I am worrying about how to describe this in order to avoid the arrival of those who have entered certain keywords...
I freeze and try to frame the appropriate question to discover whether my 16 year old has fallen amongst exploitative adults or undesirable friends.
"And what is that exactly?" I ask, trying to sound casual.
"Well Pierre is always making dreadful jokes about CaCa, so we decided to theme his surprise birthday party. Everyone has to wear yellow or brown! Oh, and can I borrow your 1930's sunglasses with the creamy yellow frames."

Now THAT'S comedy!
Heh.
I have a bunch of too-lovely dresses that I'll likely never be able to wear again. Sigh...
Now that's some creativity.
Indeed a rather glamorous dress for a such-themed occasion!
Damn, there seem to have appeared a rash of seriously good posts here since last I came!
I don't know if Fairy godmother ought to know the end to which Cinders is putting her fairy yellow frock... she looks a bit fab in a kitschy-koo sort of way!
Your daughter is obviously a chip off the old block and gorgeous to boot.
But now her beautiful yellow dress will be forever associated with Ca Ca. I don't get girls sometimes.
The Swiss Germans say Cack for poo. It's so guttural that it makes me feel queasy when I hear the word.
xD
hahaha
and it was SUCH a good party!
:P
I loooove champagne! =D
