My 5-year-old told me that when I died, she was going to have a Bratz party. Not because I said over my dead body, but understood that's how I feel about it. MBGITH, I am right with you.

Alas, she has been well trained. When an ad for Bratz comes on she says, "oh mommy, look (sigh of a girl dreaming of toys). But we don't like Bratz, right?" Poor thing. She's going to spend her teen years being mentally torn in all her desires because of my hypocrisy!
