I WAS seriously concerned when they were 4, though, and just getting a bunch of this stuff. Why didn't they go seriously nuts? Who knows. Did it do some sort of perverse unspoken damage? Who knows. [I'm not ruling it out, fwiw.] I definitely think it helps that they've spent a lot more time reading the original fairy tales, and that reminds me that I promised we'd get right back to The Snow Queen "after I quick checked my e-mail" and that was twenty minutes ago. Oops. Happy New Year!

I don't really care. Pink cheap crap is fine. Violent crap, not fine. I seriously doubt my daughter is going to grow up to be an anorexic princess waiting to be rescued by some prince with me as a mother regardless of what she plays with. Of course, I did just come back from Disney. Maybe they put something in my $2.25 cokes. Hmmm. I don’t really care. Pink cheap crap is fine. Violent crap, not fine.
