I was getting the Bean some new PJs since she's shot up, oh another 4 feet from last year or something.

Pretty purple pair, but it says "The princess waited in the enchanted forest for her prince to come."

And I thought, "screw that, oh no she won't, she'll move to San Francisco or New York and go to college."

Needless to say I didn't buy the pjs.

Why do we start giving girls these messages so early? Why do we put these ideas in their heads EVER.
That's just deeply wrong.

I'm assuming that you've already got "the PaperBag Princess"? I loved that book and so does Ree. The princess in that book not only saves the prince, but tells him where he can stick it when he starts critiquing her choices in grooming and couture.
LOVE that book.

I haven't heard of that one, I will be searching that out on our next library trip on Saturday. YAY!
