The mandate in one word is: "cute".

Cute what? "anything". (well, almost, read below)

Keep in mind that the mandate was chosen by a just-turned-21 blue-eyed girl who had been sad and tearful lately, so it's partly a test of your photographic ability to cheer someone up. I few caveats though; I would avoid clichés… so NO portraits of human babies or children per se, especially not babies, and no portraits of cats, kitties, dogs, puppies. So there you go, interpret the rest however you please, have fun, and I hope you'll manage to deliver a photo that evokes that mixture of captivation, endearment and delight experienced when the mind perceives "cute".
