“What are you playing, girls?”
Jemima stands in the centre, while the other two rub lego all over her. I can’t quite figure out what they’re pretending.
“I’m Snow White”, says Jem.
“Ah, so you two must be the dawrves?”
“No.”
“The prince and the… someone else?” I venture.
“No,” says Scarlett. “I am Cruella de Ville and Evie is the Wicked Queen, and we are skinning Snow White.”
Snow White, on cue, screams, “aarg! My skin! I have no skin on!”
And there was me thinking Disney films were supposed to be a good influence on young children. I wish I’d never asked.
