The little girl... points at the children's program and says... I want my hair to be like hers... I ask her ...if she means... long or yellow hair (I use the word yellow in Persian and not golden for the blond.) She looks back at me and says... I want...to have yellow hair... I want to be a princess... I tell her... "well... not every princess has yellow hair... Snow White and Jasmine have black hair... just like yours"... and ... there and then ... I decide to do a wall painting for her room... her school has been closed for 7-8 days now and she may very well enjoy some mom and daughter activity!
