Harriet was 11 years old, right?


The thing I never got, even when we first saw the movie when I was 7 was, if she was 11, why did she need Golly to come in and watch her when she was bathing?

i don't think she was watching her i think she was keeping her company.

or maybe harriet and golly were just so used to her being there that it just became routine

reply

I think she'd just been in there forever and Golly was coming in to tell her to get out of the tub :P

i always had really long ringlets so my mom washed my hair. i was 11 when she finally told me to start wearing a bathing suit when she did it. i remember thinking the suit was weird XD
i never saw her naked, it was just normal for her to see me. and it's not like they're touching you or anything. (well, except your hair) and Golly was really just telling her to get out of the tub.
if they've been seeing you naked since birth, it's really not that strange. it's all comes down to what you're used too.

(looking back i wonder how i wasn't embarrassed. i just wasn't)
