I am laughing, because not only was I an orphan girl, not only did my parents take me to the Laura Ingals Wilder house in Mansfield MO for summer vacation (they had to bribe my brother with a side trip to an amusement park), not only did I run around in a sun bonnet my mom had sewn for me, not only did I imagine myself to be put-upon Sara Crewe whenever I had to do chores, but my favorite childhood game—which I invented—was actually called Orphanage.

And yes, I graduated to a goth and drama-club phase in high school. So glad to hear I’m not the only one!
