I said, "I don't want to read you stories about princesses getting married, I want to read you stories about princesses being brave and having adventures!" And a middle school girl sitting in the corner reading the latest edition of one of those giant Harry Potter imitator series looked up, gave me a thumbs-up and said, "Yeah!"

That's awesome. I don't think the princess thing is bad for little girls, as long as the parents don't buy into the "sit still and look pretty" thing.

an ages 3-6 DP

So DP stands for something other than how I used it a few days ago, right?

TOTALLY had a mouthful of coffee. Technically not a COMM moment, since I was able to exercise extreme self-control.

Wait, you didn't mean Disney Princess??

well I only got on job app completed, damn but the process is slow. I hate everyone and everything and am taking it as a personal victory if I get through the evening not yelling at mac.

Not quite Double Meat Palace, but was Joss prescient?

Timelies all!

I'm sorry people are having such a rough day today.

I actually find the idea that Taco Bell's "meat" mostly isn't actual meat to be comforting. Not enough to eat it without twitching a little, but still.

Not only did I mean Disney Princesses, but I am sheltered and vanilla enough to have no idea what else it could mean, other than the Doom Patrol or possibly a WWII-era Displaced Person (about whom Flannery O'Connor did write a splendidly fantastic, chilling short story, but I don't really think I want to read Matilda that DP tale anytime soon either).

Whatever else DP means, I seriously don't know. As in, I'm now racking my brain and telling it to think dirtier and nastier, and I'm still not coming up with anything at all.

Well, I also use it for dog park, but it does weird me out a little whenever I do so.
