I will never understand why Natalie is the Mallory of SA.

I understand the Barbie thing, if only because I have a Pink Label Barbie and are aware of how expensive Barbies can be.

This is...so not a project to send the favorite toy on. If I were doing this project, I'd send a toy I don't really play with anymore. There is so much of a possibility it could get lost or stolen. Also, I think it's cute that Natalie's like "OMG BUZZY WROTE BACK!" That's just the way you are with toys. If I were sending Abby Starchild on this project (which I would never ever do because if I lost her, I would like, die), I would say "Abby wrote back!" instead of "the lady who took Abby wrote back!"

Careful, books centering around favorite toys might get me to talk about Abby Starchild a whooooole lot xD (Just wait until I snark Karen's Doll!)

Yeah, some Barbies are brain-breakingly expensive, but those aren't usually given to kids to play with, I don't think. Of course, this IS Stoneybrook...Hyacynthia probably cost a pretty penny herself and look what happened to her. I just assumed Sara would be sending off one of the normal, relatively cheap Barbies.

In one of my doll groups, we actually have "traveling dolls" who visit other collector's houses for one of the boards. You can imagine what happened when a doll went missing there...

There is a reason I don't have traveling AG.

I belong to Class 2A at Stoneybrook Academy, Connecticut.

They're not getting Buzzy back because there's no city on that letter.

They'd have to Google "Stoneybrook Academy" and hope it shows up. o_o

In my BSC headcanon Google totally exists xD

Ann, sweetie, if you want to drop in a PSA about recycling via a character, it's generally best not to use a character that you've spent the entire series painting as a loser we're not supposed to have any respect for.

Why couldn't Susan just take the damn toy on her trip with her? Why'd she have to leave it in the airport only for it to be picked up by someone not only on the same flight but quite possibly going to the SAME GODDAMN CONFERENCE?!

Natalie sounds like a sweet kid, but in the real world the teddy wouldn't make it past the check in desk "Did anyone ask you to carry anything with you today"...

I think we all know this toy business is just a front for Ms. Colman's involvement in the drug trade. That bear's stuffed with heroin.

Also, I had many barbies as a child, but there were definitely favorites. Mary Lou Jackson, aka German Barbie, to be specific.

Seriously loling over here. I bet that's why she included Natalie's name in the note. If angry drug lords show up at Colman's house, looking for answers, she'll be like, "IT'S THE KID! THE KID HAS THE BEAR!"
