The Scarf

Esther must wear her scarf wherever she goes. It accompanies whatever outfit she has on. When at home she spends hours adjusting her baby doll on her back and tying the baby on with her scarf, just the way the women here carry their babies. Her scarf is the one thing I allow her to take to church, and since her baby stays home she pretends she has a baby.  She will try and wear her scarf like a skirt, tucking it  in on the side. Otherwise she'll wrap it around her head and ask me to help her tie it. She doesn't consider herself properly dressed if she doesn't have her scarf, even when she's on her way to visit her friends, she must have it.
