What?!?!


I find this more disgusting than I can possibly say - a children's picture book to walk a kid through Mommy's tummy tuck and nose job? Again I say - what?!?!


Kid: "Will you look different?"

Mom: "Not just different, my dear - prettier."

Kid: "But you are already the prettiest mommy in the whole world."


Which last statement Mommy proceeds to discount/ignore/invalidate by hopping on into surgery. "It's not who you are inside, kid, its how you look that counts."


Happily there is no possible way that thinking will rebound on Mommy and Daddy when their perfectly normal 14 year old stops eating because she isn't thin enough and wants to start botox because her face moves so much more than Mommy's - I mean, facial expressions can't be pretty if Mommy doesn't have them - and when she cruises right into demands for boob and nose jobs so she can unveil the new her at her Super Sweet Sixteen birthday party.


Is it wrong for me to hope for a more Bad Seed sequel? "Everybody Thinks So" maybe?
