when i was a kid i wanted this so bad and my mom got it for me for my birthday. later that day i overheard her telling my aunt that it was a pricey doll but i really wanted it. i felt terrible and told my mom i didn’t like it and asked her to return it. this has haunted me my whole life. i hate getting gifts because i feel guilty when people spend money on me. i told my husband about this and he brought it up to my mom and she has no memory of this. doll wasn’t expensive. my brother said wait i think i saw that in the basement. it was in the basement. she never returned it. i have been haunted by this doll that i thought was going to put my family in the poor house for 30 years and she never even returned it. anyway i’m in therapy now.
i love when authors bring back main characters of previous books as minor/side characters in their other works. i always get so excited. i know these guys! they’re my friends!!!
