Princess and Ninja Turtles
A little girl
Sitting on the floor of her room
The walls are decorated with princesses, knights, and dragons
The little girl not playing with dolls or ponies
But playing with boy toys like transformers or ninja turtles.
Her face painted with greens and black paint
Her pink clothes painted the same colors
Her dark brown hair cut short that she did herself.
A mother wanting a girly daughter standing at the door of the room
Rushing to her daughter to look what she has done.
Takes the toys away from the little 5 year old girl
Yelling at the child
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THESE TOYS ARE NOT YOURS. YOUR A GIRL YOU PLAY WITH DOLLS"
The child just looked up at her mother and smiled "Momma, its okay to be different."
