It's no secret that I tried to avoid the whole "princess craze" with Abby. It may seem crazy to some, but the way I look at it is that it's not realistic for little girls to want to grow up and become princesses. Plus, it seems to me that all these fairy tales are just ridiculously outdated. Why does Cinderella allow her stepmother to treat her so horribly, while she simply waits around for a man to save her? Ditto with most other princess stories. So, naturally, Abby is obsessed with Cinderella. She is over The Backyardigans. Completely done with Dora. And totally obsessed with not just Cinderella, but specifically the mean step-sisters. She LOVES them! I'm hoping it's just that she's fascinated by these strange girls who are allowed to behave so badly.
Note to self: when the girls become teenagers, do not say bad things about tatoos, skin heads, or redneck boys. And if either ever brings home a guy I cannot stand, I will fake it to the best of my ability!
