The Woman Never Met A Generic She Didn't Like

When my mom visited last weekend, she brought Avery a few little toys and things that she got from the dollar store. Sure...it's fine at this age...but (hypothetically, of course) when you're 12 and the entire world has leather Docksiders brand deck shoes to wear with their preppy ensembles and you are forced to wear vinyl Decksiders brand deck shoes, you may never be able to move on from that (hypothetically, of course).

One of the gifts she brought was "magic dough" -- the Dollar Store's answer to PlayDoh.

Like all two-year-olds, Avery loves PlayDoh and dug right in...or tried to.

After trying for a few minutes to knead the magic dough, she whined to my mom, "Grandma...it doesn't move."
