Esmeralda, the gypsy


In one of our conversations before going to sleep.

Erika: Papaa.
Me: Yes?
Erika: Papa, I want to be Esmeralda when I grow up.
Me: Esmeralda, the gypsy?
Erika: Yes, Esmeralda the gypsy.
Me: Why do you want to be Esmeralda the gypsy?
Erika: Papa, I want to be Esmeralda when I grow up.
Me: Why do you want to be a gypsy when you grow up?
Erika: I want to be Esmeralda, the gypsy with the long black hair.

Esmeralda is one of the characters in the story, Hunchback of Notre Dame. We have some books with this story and some pages would have pictures of the characters. Erika is drawn to any pretty looking characters, especially those with long hair.
