About this listen
Violet started the conversation. She always had to start the conversation, but she didn't really mind. She liked giving Brunettes a chance to start the conversation, knowing that would never happen.
Waiting just long enough, Violet asked, "What shall we do today?" She tried to make it sound royal. They waited and waited, then together Brunettes said, "I don't know."
"Well, in that case," Violet was starting to say, when Brunettes said together, "today, we get a name!"
This was very surprising to Violet. It was not surprising that Brunettes said something together. They said and did everything in unison. It was this request for a name that was so surprising. They had a name!
So, Violet stated what she assumed was obvious to all of them. "You have a name, Brunettes."
"No! She wants a name!" they screamed, pointing at each other.
"Brunettes, you have a name!" said Violet, sounding as exasperated as a six-year old could sound.
It was at times like this she wished Mother was here. She corrected herself. There had never been a time like this before. Brunettes always did everything the same. She thought they liked their name. There had never been a problem before.
"We want two names!" they pouted, a most professional four-year-old pout.
"Brunettes and Brunettes!" Violet said, proud of thinking of that all on her own.
Brunettes shook their heads violently back and forth.
"No! That won't do! That won't do at all!"
Violet considered for a moment. She was Violet. Other people in the Dynasty had violet hair - all of them except Brunettes, to be precise. But nobody else was named Violet, only she. So, she supposed Brunettes should each have a name.
But how would anyone tell them apart? Who would know which girl had which name?
Violet was only stumped on that for a moment until she realized it didn't really matter. If Brunettes had two names, she would only have to say one and they would both respond. After all, they both responded to Brunettes.

a different story of identity but poor narration
This was an interesting little story about identity and the power of a name and the gift of having one.
Names are one of the things we use to separate ourselves from others, to make us feel not so invisible in the world, this is the story of what it feels like to not have that and then finding a need for it.
Dale Stubbart presents an interesting little tale of female individuality but is sadly let down by the flat narration and poor voices given to the characters by Chiquito Joaquim Crasto.
I'm fairly certain I would have enjoyed this little story a lot more if it weren't for the narration. there were also some sound problems with odd pops and clicks and some bad distortion at one point.
I was given this audiobook for free and have left this review voluntarily.
