How I wanted to be Pippi Longstocking and live in Villa Villa Coola! For me, I think it was about FREEDOM, and no parents = freedom to my young mind.

I wanted a life where I could eat dessert before dinner and have a pet monkey and decide when to go to bed and could stay up all night when I wanted to.

I am still looking for Villa Villa Coola, but I’ve gotten over the whole monkey thing.
