    Thank Goddess...

    that I am only a "mom" to cats and that Maeve Emma and Skye Elizabeth wouldn't know an American Girl if it offered them treats on a silver platter. So I don't have to explain to them that Mommy and Daddy (my partner) think this AG franchise is ridiculously over-priced, cowed by the right and another example of the Disney- and Oprah-fication of America.

    We'll stick to Kitty Hoots, toy mice and anything Skye can get her paws/teeth around, thanks very much.

    Thanks, Salon. Now I've started my day with a laugh yet again.
