This afternoon, when I was spying, er, listening in on my daughter and her five year old friend as they played with two inch tall plastic princess figurines and Littlest Pet Shop animals, I overheard this delicious snippet:
Friend: Why does Jasmine have to show her belly button?
Lucy: Yeah! She needs bigger pants.
Friend: Or a longer shirt.
Lucy: Or a jacket, or something!
Let me play that for you as spoken by California five year olds:
kid 1: Jasmine is like, so pretty. She DEFINITELY got her boobs done.
kid 2: For sure! Her lips, too!
kid 1: And don't you think that of all the princesses, Cinderella has the most slammin' dye job?
kid 2: There is NO way that's Miss Clairol in a bottle. Lifted the base and a full head of highlights. So worth it.
Okay, the satire is over the line, but not so far that I can't see it in my rearview mirror. Although there is enough freakshow to go around here, it the variety I can contend with, and coach my daughter through.
Yah...I'll take the humping cows over octomom any day. Sing it with me: Vivaaaaa Nashvegas!
