As I was rummaging through my old stuff, I came across an old photo of a toddler. Standing at approximately 1 and a half feet tall, a 2 year old African American female stood next to another baby’s car seat and “cradled” her. If one was to look at the picture, it can be assumed that the infant was crying. The two-foot two year old toddler that comforted the crying infant was a girl named Mausi Blessing Hodonu, this girl is me.

It can be determined that she had a better relationship with her father, she could also be called a “daddy’s girl”. Related to that, in my picture, the ecstatic grin on my father’s face shows how satisfied he is with me and my actions. In this picture I may not be physically seen as a daddy’s girl, however in another picture of mine, it is very …show more content…
Also, in this photo we were at a party and they were having families come take pictures, in order for them to remember the night of fun. In the image from left to right is: me, my dad, my mom, my older brother, and my younger brother. This picture reveals that since I am seen “cuddled up” with my father, I could also be considered a “daddy’s girl”. Dressed in a deep red racerback dress and toting a bright pink purse, I have my scrawny little arms, with a single gold bracelet, around my dad, who is clothed in a beige Nigerian outfit. I chose to pose like this because I love my dad and he spoils me more than my mom. My dad has his arm serenely around me, as a sign of
