In her floor-length Snow White dress, Lilah gets inspired to great heights of beauty and sophistication. She slowly promenaded down the wide hall yesterday afternoon, holding the skirt out at the sides and announcing, "Look at this beautiful girl having her wedding!" Overcome with the emotion of the moment, she said to me, "Julie, my heart is full of love."
Claire was apparently also inspired by this display:
"Lilah, you are a treasure. You are God's treasure."
Lilah was unimpressed. "I'm not a treasure. I'm a girl."
Claire: "No, you are God's treasure."
Lilah: "Julie, is I a treasure? Is I?"
Julie: "Girls can be treasures. You are a girl, but you are also a treasure."
Lilah: "I don't want to be a treasure."
