A doll growing up
Friday, August 8, 2008



I remember a girl at school when I was about eight or nine. She was a year or two younger than me. She was not allowed to come home with dirty clothes.

When we other kids climbed, crawled and explored our world she just stood there. She could not play anything unless it was in a standing position.

The issue was that she was not allowed to get her clothes dirty, but what her parents really did was forbidding her to play.

But she herself was dirty. It was like nobody ever told her to wash behind her ears and obviously nobody at home checked either.

What kind of person did she become when she grew up? What kind of mother will she be?

And her parents, who were they? Did they just want a doll?
