In the poem, the speaker states the girlchild has “wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy” (4), showing that she already wants to alter her appearance. As children grow into young adults, they become aware of outside judgments; as the girlchild was made aware in the poem. “Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said:/ You have a great big nose and fat legs” (5-6).

Piercy analyzes the girl from birth and uses a detached, expecting tone to portray her normality. In lines two through five Piercy creates a bitter tone when talking about the toys her parents presented her as a child. Piercy's tone can also seem as if she is disgusted because she talks about the “dolls that did pee pee” and uses a sarcastic alliteration when she said “lipsticks the color of cherry candy” (2-4). At this point it is clear the child is a toddler or in adolescence since she plays with these toys that little girls are expected to pay with at that age. The first stanza abruptly ends with “You have a great big nose and fat legs.” (6).

Davie was still sitting in time out while all of the other kindergardeners played with toys and ran around. Ms. Karen walked right up to Davie and said in a stern voice with her hands on her hips, “I know you said a bad word to Erin, Davie.
In the scenes “Unspoken Abuse”, the children play the patty cake game whilst questioning Ruby about her previous trips shown in “Line Up 1 and 2”. Whilst the children play this, the audience’s understanding of Ruby’s treatment changes, and the song becomes a symbol for a loss of innocence and faith in the system. This can also be said for the scene “Cleaning Routine 2”. As the children dance around to the tune of ‘Happy Little Vegemite’s’, the audience understands that the song is implicating that the children have no control or choice in their future.
