At the coffeeshop I work at there is a little girl living next door who often comes by with her father. She is to either be addressed by her name, Elona, or when dressed in a blue checked dress, Dorothy. I find it amazing how this 3 year old identifies herself as a different person when wearing different attire. She is, of course, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, a movie she has been watching nonstop for the last few weeks. What made her parents buy her the costume? Is it alright to encourage dressing up? Why should such a fantastical play idea only have its rights on Halloween, anyway?
