An email from my mama

Hi,

I couldn’t let Aunt Pat take the credit for Strawberry Shortcake. I bought that and I think when I first saw it I didn’t like it either. Remember the night Violet stayed up to midnight and started watching it again before she fell to sleep? I didn’t like the Pie Man getting a bad rap either. Perhaps the Country Bears that Aunt Pat actually brought (if you got home with it), would be much better.

I guess by now you know the doll didn’t make it back either. Tell Violet I put her to bed in her bed to wait for her return. She is going to have a nice long nap. I read all the latest blogs and I don’t want you to be blaming Pattie for the Shortcake thing. In all fairness, who would let a Pie Man be a villain??? You don’t get to view these things before buying. I think Strawberry Shortcake should be retired.

Love,
Mom
