My wife and I popped into the American Girl doll store. I was creeped out beyond belief. I simply cannot fathom why dolls are popular, but American Girl takes it to a whole new level. The mom purchases a doll for her daughter and then they take the doll to the store to give her a facial and such. Then they take the doll upstairs for lunch or dinner! There are high-chairs for the dolls. I saw a grown woman put a cup of water up to the doll's mouth ... the DOLL'S mouth for crying out loud. I just don't understand it.
