On Meaning, Ranges of:

Since the quesadillas were on their way, I thought it might be an auspicious time to try to fight city hall. From nine years plus of experience I know something about little girls: the second the food hits the table is when they need to visit the Little Senoritas' room.  I deposited Tinkerbell in one stall and Buttercup in the next.  Tink is a new reader, and so she quite naturally gave some attention to the sign posted over the toilet: "Please," she read aloud, "do not dispose of feminine items in the toilet."

"Oh, that's okay," she said restfully, after a moment's thought.  "I left my dolly at the table."
