All I have to say about this blog post on Mother in Chief is that I agree 100 percent.

One of my co-workers has two daughters who regularly play princess, but sometimes with a twist. They are princess pirates, princess superheroes, etc. They are creative and seem to strike a good balance.

I wore a tiara as recently as last weekend (yes, there is a photo), but I’m a little concerned about the princess culture that seems a necessary part of childhood for little girls. Can we not play Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead? How about Lara Croft?
