I hate their little spindly bodies. I really hate their rubber clothes that are too hard for my daughters to change without my help. I hate the bomb-proof packaging they come in. I hate their theme of "shopping," but not quite as much as I do the same for Bratz. I hate that we have about 40 of these things, plus several little plastic houses, malls, and amusement parks that I seem to trip over every night when I check on my kids before I turn in. In conclusion, I hate Polly Pockets and they are a curse upon this planet. Thank you.
i've always said to myself that if i ever have girls, i'm not buying them barbies. they'll be shooting hoops and playing catch with me.
How you gonna shut out their mother, their grandmother, their great-grandmother and all the little girls buying them birthday presents? I tried.
My daughter loves those things...The accessories get lost all the time...Plus they make your hands smell....ewww...
My daughter has some of those as well. I don't have as strong feelings about them as others but it wouldn't bother me if my daughter never got another one of those things.
Yep. That's what all of us say until they actually get here. My daughter plays Bball and is one of the better girls in her age group. We shoot all the time on her 9-foot goal in the backyard. We play catch a lot. She's on a swim team. She loves sports. When she was younger, we played with Lego all the time. She's smart... all As and A+s thie year. And it doesn't matter at all... when we see the pink aisle in the toy department, she is immediately drawn to it like a moth to a flame. My 4 yo is worse. They look at you with those big eyes and you both know they own your soul, so you buy them stupid Polly Pockets.
polly pockets, back in my doll days, were about a half an inch tall and didn't have clothes except the ones painted on their bodies.
Right! I remember the really little ones. Which didn't come out until right after I was too old for dolls. I thought they looked kind of interesting but there would be a limit to how much you could do with them. The new ones actually look kind of cool, like something I would have played with if they had only had them back then...
Oh, and on a related note, I saw the prettiest My Little Pony in the store the other day and wanted to take it home. Rainbow colored mane and tail. What's happening to me... I must be regressing...
