Pink with white spots

"Being 2 years nine months, at Easter, standing in front of a long mirror in my parents bedroom, with my mum expecting me to admire my new outfit (pink coat with little white spots and matching hat with upturned brim) and I hated it! I did not dare say so - my first conscious experience of having to be careful, I think."
