Soapbox Monday
Most of you know how I feel about Bratz dolls. If you don't, well i'll tell you. I hate them. I loathe them. I want to burn the stores down that sell them. I want to find the inventor of Bratz and give them an earful and shake my index finger in their face and maybe slap 'em around a little. I refuse to go down the aisle in the store where Bratz are on display. And yes, I will tolerate the temper tantrums that ensue and when someone looks at me disapprovingly because of my wailing children, I will give them an earful about why I will not let my kids even touch the boxes they come in. If you give my kids a Bratz doll or anything related to Bratz, I will return it to the store and get them something else. If I can't return it, I will throw it in the trash and waste your hard earned money. If we are at someone's house who has Bratz (the doll, and quite possibly the children, too) I will not let my kids play with them. I will take them away and give a lecture in front of everybody about how horrible they are and how I can't believe they are even allowed in that house. Just try me, I WILL do it. Yes, I am a mean mother. With that said, please go here and sign this. I know you're all just SO busy (slacker! get back to work!) but it will only take a minute.
I'm very much with you on this. What were they thinking - prostitute looking dolls with horrible attitudes - YES! This is what American girls need. It's awful. So guess who bought one for my little girl? My husband - claiming he didn't even look at it. And yes, I took it back that night. Yes, I won't even go down the aisle. I can't believe anyone thought they were a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI could go on, but I'll stop now so as not to embarass myself.
