April 30, 2013

Aine McCarthy When I was a little girl, I played “show me yours and I’ll show you mine” with another little girl from up the street. I didn’t know what playing this meant to adults; I just knew that I was curious if the other little girl looked like me. But, being the good little girl she ...
