During my formative years, the term "Gypsy" was very contentious and I was confused when I learned that the flower
gypsophila was also called "baby's breath" because I wondered if it was related to the myth that gypsies stole babies, but couldn't ask in case i got in trouble, and as a result felt very awkward about the name of the flower, which was tricky as my mum was working at a florist's at the time
