pantryslutI am finally reading Alison Bechdel's Are You My Mother?, wherein she quotes renowned child development theorist Donald Winnicott thus:
"The name given by the infant to these earliest [transitional] objects is often significant, and it usually has a word used by the adults partly incorporated in it."
My first doll's name was "Orangish." Named significantly before I knew my colors. Make of this what you will.
