Mr. Smithers, the high-powered executive, presses the red button on the intercom. "Miss White," he says, "could you bring me that list of birth control pills?"

Miss White temporarily stops filing her fingernails and hits the button to reply. "I put it on your desk this morning, sir."

Mr. Smithers shuffles papers back and forth but comes up blank. "Well, it's not here. The only thing I can find is your list of Disney heroines."

"Sir," Miss White says, "I haven't typed up that list yet."

Mr. Smithers groans. "Ohmigod," he says. "It can't be. But I just bought -- " He sighs and runs his fingers through thinning hair. "Now my six-year-old is going to a costume party dressed as a time-release estrogen pill."

I think Mr. Smithers' confusion is understandable. See if you can tell which of the following are Disney heroines, and which are birth control pills.

(1) Mircette
(2) Kiara
(3) Alesse
(4) Megara
(5) Naveen

(15) Seasonique
