"American Girl"

( note: prompted by "Angela Rasch's" story "Tosil-mee" )
"American Girl" dolls, those are actually a fair bit after my time, appropriate age wise anyway.

However, when they came out I really wanted one, even though in I was technically to old for them. I eventually even went so far as to get on the catalog mailing list, I was to afraid of what family might think if I actually ordered one, so I never did. The catalog? Umm..... "Ida Noe how I got on the mailing list, mailing lists are weird." As you likely guessed my age was not the reason I did not order it. How, oh how would I possibly explain a "boy" ordering a dolly for "himself". I wish I had though, I wish a lot of other things too.

*sigh*
