> The idea of a 'curly-haired Irish colleen' is funny

You should have seen me! My hair didn't so much curl, it bent. Then crimped. Then sprang. Then got loose and terrorised the village. I would have given anything to have straight hair like normal kids had. Now, "normal" doesn't seem to be what's wanted.

Yes, that smiling little boy stepping away in his work (because, judging from the age of that shot, I'll bet he DID work) clothes is a joy to watch. He doesn't look as though he has a particularly soft life, and dancing obviously brings him pleasure and comfort. Us too, just looking at him. Same with the kids here, when they're allowed to BE kids. That doesn't only mean the right to look natural and be who you are, it also means the freedom to mess up and make mistakes without publicly humiliating yourself, annoying a whole rake of people around you, and generally suffering consequences.
