ONLY A LITTLE BIT (February 6, 2000)

A few days ago Maya got a pair of ornate Moroccan slippers, which she immediately put on when I joined the family this weekend. I sincerely admired their delicate cut and their feminine charm. As soon as Maya put them on for the first time, Lauren tells me the little girl exclaimed: “The fantasy is that the toes are showing only a little bit!” She is four and a bit, for crying out loud!
