I always wished I could be a Russian Doll.
A red one.
With a big pair of bright blue eyes and painted on eyelashes and pink rosy cheeks. Really rosy.
And my mouth would be painted on red like a bow.
I’d have a flower on my chest - a rose - and two small little hands by my side.
And then I could be un wrapped, two, three, four times until I was small.
Really small.
Have you ever seen a paper mache doll that separates into two pieces like a box? Inside is a smaller doll. You open it and inside is an even smaller doll, and so forth. This is what a "russian doll" is.
