"They belong to the family," my aunt says in a gruff voice. "So you're going to have to stay here if you want to play with them. Your mother, too." (18.88)

Turtle's aunt says this about the paper dolls that she took back from Turtle. Suddenly, it's not important who they belong to, but that Turtle feels like she has somewhere to belong. In the end, Aunt Minnie is more of a family member to her than either of her parents.
