Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That is the freakiest toy EVER. Perfect for, say, John Waters, but not so much for Matilda.

Is it wrong that I haven't read anything by James Tiptree, Jr that I can recall?
She wrote mostly ultra-feminist SF (as in, manhating feminist tracts), but a few of her short stories are really beautifully written. There's a collection of her short stories that came out some 20 years ago that's a good look at her work. One of her stories (of course I can't remember the title offhand!) is a wonderfully romantic look at true love.
Her most famous short story was "Houston, We Have a Problem," in which a group of (male) NASA astronauts end up in a future Earth ruled by women, and these MCPs have issues dealing with the fact that they're no longer part of TPTB.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
WTF is that toy!?!??!
I'm scared.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
My eyes! My eyes!
Lord, that's worse than I could have imagined.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It would have taken me a hundred years to imagine that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Gah! That is a seriously creepy toy. It's a horror movie waiting to happen.

It's gonna take me another hundred to get over it.
Seriously, you keep that thing in your house?

You can see why JZ had to stifle her incredulous laughter when she saw it.

It looks like something out of strange mythology. The gift-giver isn't a member of an outre religion, is she?
