During the year after Danny’s third birthday, his mother hired a
regular babysitter for the afternoons in order to take an art history
class. The sitter, Jennifer, was an attractive college student, a sorority
who loved both children and fashion, and both Danny and Mary
quickly idolized her. Leslie briefed her on Danny’s unique behavior
and reassured her that it was okay to indulge him. Soon Jennifer (at
Danny’s urging) was painting Danny’s fingernails and letting him wear
her bracelet. She introduced him to Barbie online, a website where
they could dress up Barbie in an assortment of outfits. They also played
“Princess Danielle,” with Danny the princess and Jennifer the prince,
wizard, king, or whatever male role the drama at hand required. Alter-
natively, they would produce sequels to Aladdin (with Danny playing
the role of Jasmine), or Beauty and the Beast (with Danny playing Belle),
or the latest video fascination with a beautiful female protagonist. Jen-
nifer was amused to think that she had found a playmate so feminine
that even she was relegated to the male role—and that this playmate
was a boy.
