- Rainbows, as in happiness.
- Rainbows, as in the refraction of different wavelengths of light (they dig science).
- Rainbows, as in playing house with their friend Samantha who has two moms.
- Cartwheels, pinwheels, an appreciation for mom’s sensible heels.
- Mermaids who don’t give up their voices and tails, but use them to speak loud and swim tall.
- Kitty cats.… Make that battle-worn pink pussy hats knit by their mothers that hang in the closet next to tired protest signs reading: “Women’s Rights are Human Rights,” “Families Belong Together,” and “Believe Women.”
- Hair bows carefully hand-crafted out of matériel that can also function as defensive weapons, just in case.
- Unicorns who discovered how to will themselves into existence to vote in the general election.
- Glitter, used mainly for decorating protest signs, but with a generous portion stowed away for tossing into the air the day the patriarchy comes crashing to the ground.
