Dylan's recent comment requires translation into American English in order to have its full impact in that language:

DADDY: Maybe this weekend we can buy a dress for you. Remember yesterday you said you wanted some girl's clothes?

DYLAN: I want a girl's swim suit.

(Dylan actually said, 'I want a girl's swimming costume', which means the same thing.)

So the stakes have risen.
