My kid designs her own (now, mind you, the "real" american girl doll is the 3rd one of that size or whatever that she's got), then she takes the to grandma, they go to the store and they make the dresses, one for her, and one for the doll. Well, mostly, more for the doll, but, yeah... I think she's got a few bought ones obviously, but, yeah... I don't buy her that crap. I buy her more practical things, like weapons.

I remember the American Girl Doll phase. You can make one that looks like you. We got one for our daughter when she was 8 or so, and 14 years ago these things were $100+. She takes it outside pulls it around in her wagon which overturns and scrapes the face up. I told my wife we cold have bought a $10 doll if she wanted to do that. Anyway, years, multiple dolls and accessories, an trips to the Chicago store later, those dolls are in storage. Hopefully she has a daughter of her own. Good luck guys....

I'm thinking I might buy two of them. Let the kid really get into the whole thing, then explain to her that there can only be one and stage a murder scene for laughs

My Grandfather did his level best to convince my two younger cousins he was sick of Santa tresspassing and was going to shoot him one of these years. So one night while the whole family was over, he snuck out of the house, fired a shotgun and when everyone came running to see what had happened he said "I finally got that son of a bitch. Christmas is cancelled." The kids bought it and hilarity ensued.

It was priceless.

You will be surprised how good your little pumpkiners act when he ain't around no mo'. If they are acting like a PSU or TTUN student then hide the doll the next morning and leave a note stating his report to Santa don't look good this year. If they give you a couple of days of good behavior then bring him back...if their behavior is still bad then murder that little SOB and cover some of their other stuffed animals/dolls/action figures in blood.

All in all its a pain in the ass. Its like you have homework every night and most times you forget to do it until the next morning. I do have fun putting him in inappropriate settings and seeing if my wife can find it before my kids. The kids loved this one.

Dude, aren't your kids like 30 by now?

I figured the baby sitter was collecting SS and had a medicinal card for her arthritis.
