We recently purchased Disney Princess sheets for my 4 year old daughter's bed and as I was putting her to bed last night I pointed out to her that she looked like the picture of Cinderella on her pillowcase.
Me: You have blonde hair and blue eyes and pink lips - just like Cinderella!
Her: No, my lips are not pink.
Me: Uh, yes they are...
Her: No, they are not.
Me: Well, what color are they.
Her: Plain.
Me: What about my lips? Look at them. They are pink just like yours.
Her: No Mom. Your lips are plain.
Me: What about your skin? What color is it? White, peach, ivory?
Her: No, I am plain.
Yeah, good luck finding the bubble for "Plain" when you start filling out college applications. (I wonder anyone offers scholarships for being "Plain"? I need to check into that.)

I think my sister tried the "WASP" angle on a scholarship and it didn't work. Maybe "plain" would...
