#whereas when I was a little girl I had like three dramatic toy deaths per play session

[heckyeahponyscans]

I was walking my do past the playing fields where a bunch of kids were learning soccer, including a group of six or seven year old girls. They were choosing a team name and had almost settled on "The Chipmunks" when one of them said "NO! We should be The Deadly Burns!" The rest of the girls immediately began chanting "The Deadly Burns! The Deadly Burns!", and if that doesn't sum up the dichotomy of being a little girl then I don't know what does.
