Sigh. This is what Grace wants for Christmas. It's official name is the Barbie Hot Tub Party Bus, and the hot tub lights up and plays dance music and it even comes with beds! It's so skankerrific, it probably comes with a Joe "Girls Gone Wild" Francis Ken Doll to exploit the Barbies into taking their tops off for his dvds. Anyway, we told her no, Santa doesn't like to bring toys like that, because they, um, fall apart real easily. She's apparently more clever than we thought she was, because her response to that was, "Do you mean like how Santa doesn't like to give Bratz dolls because they're not appropriate for little girls because they have make-up and see-through clothes?" Yes, Grace that is exactly what we mean.
Just found your blog and love it already. So funny! I'm looking forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteOk, I invoked your parenting last night in Costco. We were strolling the aisles and Ione saw a Bratz doll and had a huge freak-out about how much she LOVES Bratz and can she please, please, please have one for Christmas (even though we've discuss many times that she cannot have any Bratz toys). I said NO. She started to negotiate. To make a long story, short I told here that even Grace and Olivia aren't allowed to have Bratz dolls and that quieted her down. We then agreed that when she turned 16 should could have as many Bratz dolls as she wants.
ReplyDeleteFrickin' Bratz ho's.
ReplyDeleteI feel so lucky to have a girl that shuns all things Barbie and Bratz. Tomboys rock!
