Makes sense, she can’t stay with someone for too long. Otherwise they start asking questions about how she never ages and needs permission to enter people’s homes.

I started to type a comment about this story, then realized i’ve made it so often that I practically have it memorized at this point. I think that speaks to how fucked up this whole thing is on its own.

Isn’t that carved in granite over the entry of most libraries?

Mazel Tov!!! So many tears. My WWII Veteran, Holocaust Camp-Liberating Jewish Grandpa just died last week. He was the best, most wonderful mensch of a human I could ever be honored to know. He had his Bar Mitzvah as a 13-year-old, but was a lifelong learner and student of all things including Judaism so he had an…

I lived with a gal I was really really good friends with (2 br apt), who brought over a couple she’d met on a plane and fucked them loudly all night. The night before I had a very important work thing the next day, which I’d told her about weeks in advance, days in advance, and then to all three of them before I went…

I never had a roommate I was friends with. At best, I had roommates I could tolerate. Sharing a room is just a raw deal. I had the girl who tried fucking boys in her bunk above me, dropping her underwear ON MY HEAD. I had a heroin addict. I had a psycho like Ashly. All bad.

Next up: a divorce! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, two beautiful B-listers who have successfully conned the world into thinking they’re A-listers (I like them both, but they are not reliable leading actors. Don’t @ me.)

So, the secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss?

But maybe George of the Jungle gave you a bit of solace

I was an overnight editor at cnn.com when this story broke. It was the night/morning of my bachelor party. I got a call early in the morning (I’d been asleep for just a couple hours) and told it was all hands, big story breaking, haven’t you heard .... I was still so fucking drunk. I worked a double, got on the plane…

I would be EXTREMELY wary of stirring all that up again. Your theory sounds likely.

I remember my dad’s sister telling me that she hoped my mom wouldn’t soil me against his side of the family two hours after my mom had to make me go to the reunion at his house because I couldn’t stand those hypocritical assholes.

Fair enough dude. I’m an only child as well and I can't bring it up with my dad even though he gets high with my husband. Maybe act like you went out of your way to procure those cookies from a sketchy coworker or something.

Most self-called beauty experts don’t have the first idea what to do with curly hair, let alone black women’s hair.

I’ve heard of several toy hospitals, or you can send the doll back to AG and they’ll repair her.

Hell yeah! For awhile, I was a strict historical fiction reader...yes even in the 2nd grade. I LOVED all the history. And I loved all things American Girl for years before my family could ever afford a doll. I had a subscription to the magazine and followed most of the books. My favorite was Kirsten, then Addy.…

Agreed, these seem fine, but I always thought one of the best parts of American Girls was that it got children interested in history and talked about it in a relatable and age appropriate but realistic way. I genuinely learned a lot about slavery and racism from reading the Addy books and the Samantha books were the…

If it makes you feel any better every year for Christmas I asked for Felicity and my mom said she was too expensive. Yet my mom would get me like 8 Barbies and other shit (I would sit there and do the math and be like this equals the price of Felicity). My mom was just too busy living through my sister and I because…

I DO know a little girl who’s parents bought her a Bitty Baby. It’s still her favorite doll which is sweet, because it looks like it’s gone through a hurricane at this point.

They’re cute. I still prefer the historical aspect of the traditional American Girl dolls though.
