Upshot? Our niece's teacher is a crazy prude.
Re: What does ML think?
That's freaking crazy. It's not like Barbie is at all anatomically correct. That earns a big ol' hearty WTF from me.
Updated September 2012.
Lots of Americans are prudes (sometimes I am, too) unless they're looking at doin' it in the butt p0rn, and it's dumb.
3 1/2? Like they even know what's going on.
Thats stupid.
Send her back with masking tape thong bottoms.
Omg the first thing Lucy goes when she gets a Barbie type doll is "nake" it. All girls carry naked dolls.
I'm sure the teacher probably was being cautious b/c I can totally see a mom calling and complaining "HOW DARE YOU LET MY SON SEE A NAKED BARBIE".
I can totally see it.
So, while weird, teacher was probably trying to eliminate future headaches.
Hey, you never come around anymore.
What?!?
1) Doesn't Barbie come with little lines like underwear on her already?
2) Even if she doesn't, it's not like she's rocking nips and a moose knuckle.
Way to teach kids to be ashamed of their bodies and that nudity is wrong. F*cking prudes.
That is ridiculous. A 3.5 year old's goal in life is to keep barbie naked. And baby dolls. You put their clothes on, and about 2 minutes later they will be naked. It is just what they do.
Giant WTF, and eye roll, to the teacher.
That's crazy!
But, I used to babysit for a girl who's mom would remove an arm or leg from all her barbies. Because otherwise they were an unattainable goal of perfection. But, having a 24" waist and DD boobs and 1 leg is totally realistic, I guess...
Today Instead of Working
Dumb.
There was a naked baby doll on the floor today when I walked into daycare.
Daycare is SO exhausting!

totally freaking weird
it's not like she has labia
Agreed that it's completely ridiculous.
However, I do believe that the school was just watching their asssses should an uber-conservative (crazy/nutso) parent happen to observe or a bright child go home & explicitly share w/ ubr-conserv. mommy and daddy. Sorry, but really not blaming the school so much as shrugging that it's kind of the world we live in right now.
This is what I said above '^^^^^^
I wanted to say pasties but the word for them slipped my mind for a bit.
LOL. I just saw that! Great minds think alike.
i'm a little bit here and there!
i'm trying to stay awake long enough to nest at night.
no time at work anymore
