So Eilish has one Barbie (bought by Aunt Lib at the Mart where frankly all first Barbie's should come from) and she refuses to keep the thing clothed. Mart Barbie came with a tutu which has not been on the poor doll since the moment I gave it to her. She says she 'loves' the Barbie and that it's her 'favorite'.
Last night while I was reading the paper she started her roll call of Barbie body parts. 2 hands, 2 legs, 2 feet etc. I didn't know what she would do when she came to the boobs. She calls mine 'boobies' and pushes on them with a mixture of awe and disgust. I didn't think my poor ol' working class breasts could compete with Barbie's and frankly, I did not need the pressure.
My darling girl, a feminist in training, looked at my chest, looked at Barbie's chest and declared: '2 elbows!'.

Elbows...that's a new one.
At nine years old we've come to having to explain all manner of things to Ryan. Its actually easier than I thought...he's a smart guy!

I wish mine were as small as my elbows.
Did you know that brother Brian also called them elbows?
