interview questions for SAPNA/INDIGO

I was so excited I could scarcely wait to get dressed and go into town.  But my mother came into my room wearing a narrow, lavender linen shift.  Her crazy black curls were pulled into a thick pony tail that stretched her white face across thin, flat cheekbones and slanted her eyes - YOU HAVE BLACK HAIR, HAS ANYONE EVER TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE CAUCASIAN; EVEN THOUGH YOU AND YOUR FATHER ARE NOT AS DARK AS THE PORTRAIT OF  FLAVIA MILAZZO; IN FACT, ISN'T IT TRUE THAT NOONE WAS SURE THAT FLAVIA MILAZZO WASN'T A DARK INDIAN, A MIXED BLOOD NEGRO OR AN ARAB, EVEN THOUGH SHE SAID SHE WAS SICILIAN AND SPOKE ITALIAN - WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR MOTHER STARTED YOUR HAIR BLONDE WHEN YOU WERE 18 MONTHS OLD.
Violet
  Are you helping her get dressed, Blackie? LOOKING BACK, DO YOU THINK THERE WAS ANYTHING STRANGE ABOUT YOUR FATHER HELPING YOU GET DRESSED WHEN YOU WERE 10 YEARS OLD.
Indigo
  Mommy!  Mommy!  I look just like Flavia Milazzo. DO YOU/DID YOU THINK YOU LOOKED LIKE FLAVIA, EVEN THOUGH YOUR MOTHER DYED YOUR HAIR BLONDE AND DO YOU THINK IT WOULD HAVE BOTHERED YOUR MOTHER THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU DID.
Violet
  Are you? WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOUR MOTHER  GOT UPSET ABOUT YOU BEING SO CLOSE TO YOUR FATHER.
Blackie

  It’s her birthday.
Indigo
Mommy!  Daddy says I’m a princess. DID YOU REALLY BELIEVE YOU WERE A PRINCESS - IF SO, WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT.
Violet
Don’t you think she’s old enough to dress herself?
Blackie
Jealous of your own daughter?  Or me? DID YOU/DO YOU THINK YOUR MOTHER  WAS JEALOUS OF YOU AND OR YOUR FATHER.
Violet
She’s old enough to dress herself.
And then Mommy smelled Daddy’s fingers; and Daddy shook his head - HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOUR MOTHER DID THIS  But Mommy got hysterical anyway.  She always got hysterical if Daddy and I were alone - HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENED.  It took her an hour to calm down before we could leave the house - WHAT DID YOUR MOTHER DO TO "CALM DOWN": JUST CHILLING OUT, DARK ROOM WITH A CLOTH ON HER FOREHEAD, HOT TUB, DEEP BREATHING, YOGA, ROSARY, ASPIRIN, SEDATIVE, DITCH WEED.
