Lily's eyes sparkled with excitement as she slipped into the bathroom, her blonde pigtails bouncing behind her. She loved joining her dad in the shower, where they would play \water battle\ and make silly faces at each other. Today was a special treat, as her dad had promised to take her to the beach later, and she couldn't wait to build sandcastles and collect seashells. As she wrapped her arms around her dad's waist, the warm water enveloped them, and the soap suds began to swirl around their heads like a mini-tornado. Lily giggled as her dad started to make silly faces, his eyes crossed and his eyebrows wiggling. She copied him, and soon they were both laughing and making a splashy mess. Just as they were getting into the zone, the shower curtain suddenly opened, and Lily's mom poked her head in. \What's all the commotion about?\ she asked, her voice stern but amused. Lily and her dad looked at each other, still grinning. \We're having a shower party!\ they chimed in unison, holding up their sudsy hands. Her mom chuckled and shook her head. \Well, I suppose it's okay. But don't forget to wash off all that soap before we go to the beach!\ With a wink, Lily's dad handed her a washcloth, and they continued their water battle, the soap suds swirling around them like a magical kingdom. As they rinsed off and stepped out of the shower, Lily beamed at her dad. \Best shower ever, Daddy!\ she exclaimed, and he smiled, knowing that this was a memory they would cherish forever.
