The fall of 2003, Jason was looking through some old photographs when he discovered one from that preschool parade. The blonde girl in a genie costume looked familiar. He showed the photo to Jessica. “That’s me,” she said. “I wanted to be Princess Leia but my grandmamma thought that was too risqué!”
