Pippi was my hero as a child.
I once asked my mother if I could wash the wood floor in the living room. I think she was surprised that I'd offered to do any housework. Cut to the scene where mom comes in to find me, sponges on my feet, skating about in the soapy water on the floor. No, she didn't stop me, but she laughed a lot. There was a streak of Pippi in Mom, too.
