From Gearhead Mom:
Our daughter first fell in love with these infuriating little vixens when she was about two years old, when her interactions with the dolls consisted of bringing them to us for outfit donning or removal.

Or you won’t allow Polly Pockets in your home.

I am still laughing. With two older girls I can totally relate to her post!
