I don't remember anything except that I was extremely angry about something. I did not turn into a psychopath because I abused my doll. Don't worry about it. It could be as simple as fantasizing about halloween disguises.<br /><br />I think it is wonderful that your daughter does not know what a package of cigarettes is. I wish people who used them did not think it was so appropriate to jettison the butts, packages, and used up lighters they produce all over the countryside. That is probably one of my hot buttons. . . cigarette butts on the ground.<br /><br />Furthermore, I went and read the article you linked to and I am drooling. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite stories, but it didn't change my life -- I already was a big reader by the time I was five. But it did affirm many of my attitudes and beliefs. How cool that you got a letter from Harper Lee!healingmagichandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785882461027155830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-26575476236530563842011-04-21T19:04:51.888-04:002011-04-21T19:04:51.888-04:00Hem: I don't know.
