“Why, Papa?”

“Because, son, I want to look more like you.” The small boy looked quizzically at his father, who was standing in the small bathroom and drying his now-darkened hair. The boy was learning many new things about the world and his father.

“Papa, Why…” He waited patiently as his father put tiny little pieces of brown plastic into his eyes, and then smiled as his father looked at him and winked. The boy giggled at his father's brown eyes.

“Now, Rene…how do I look?” His father did look more like him with dark eyes and dark hair, but his skin was still much lighter than his. Maybe that was what the fancy spray that his father had bought was for. The boy wrinkled his nose as his father used his new name. He didn’t know if he liked the new name very much…Rene Iafrate…Ya-fraaht, he pronounced to himself…Rene and Christian, Iafrate. He decided he could learn to like his, and his father’s, new names.
