$35.00
That's a lot of money to a six year old girl. Yesterday we traversed to the BX to spend the birthday money and gift cards, which added up to a total of $35.00. Rachel chose to buy some head bands, a set of Maracas, and a Barbie bride doll. She still has enough cash left for the ice cream man, should the bastard ever show up before 9:30 p.m.
The problem with this whole bride doll thing is the lack of Ken dolls or G.I. Joes in the house. Yesterday I happened upon her in her room with a gorgeous wedding set out, complete with music, guests, cake and table wear. The most beautiful lesbian wedding you would ever want to see, as the bride-groom was her veterinarian barbie she got last weekend. The wedding was of course complete with the "You may kiss the bride" part, and the long, long, long, LONG kiss at the end... The blonde strands of hair becoming tangled together in the passion of it.
It was disturbing to say the least. I didn't say anything to her- as she looked up at me (and I skillfully masked the look of worry) at that time and said "I am pretending this one is a boy, Mommy", and she went back to what she was doing. I have no problem with the lesbian wedding thing- just a 6 year old girl doing tongue kisses with 2 long haired big chested women dolls is somewhat of a psyche overload.
The salvation of my shock came with my son barging in, ala-columbine style with his nerf gun, and shooting down the cake and stuffed animal wedding guests... claiming that he had to, as I wouldn't let him shoot nerf-darts at his cat.
