Some Regrets
The other night at dance class:
Helen: Look at Lynne! Her hair's standing straight up like a troll doll.
Lynne: I don't look like a troll doll.
SJG: You look like Pebbles.
Lynne: I loved Pebbles.
Helen: I loved troll dolls.
SJG: I had a mini troll on top of my pencil.
Helen: I wanted to be a troll.
SJG: I wanted to be Barbie. I wanted those legs.
Lynne: Remember the dreamhouse?
SJG: Remember Skipper? Was she Barbie's little sister or her cousin?
Helen: Sister. Remember Poindexter?
Lynne: Poindexter?
Helen: Ken's friend.
SJG: I don't remember him.
Helen: He was a nerd.
SJG: Remember Barbie's friend Midge? I always thought she was Jewish.
Lynne: Why would you think that?
SJG: Just a hunch. She had more personality than Barbie.
Helen: She was the funny sidekick.
SJG: Worst decision I ever made in my life? I traded in my original Barbie for one with bendable legs.
Lynne: Why would you do that?
SJG: I was young and stupid. I thought it would be cool to have Barbie bend her legs.
Helen: What was the advantage?
SJG: It was easier to pose her. Original Barbie's legs were so stiff. I should've kept the original.
Lynne: No one knew back then that Barbie would be collectible.
SJG: Someone should've stopped me. My mother.
Helen: It's her fault, definitely.
SJG: I gave my whole collection of Barbies away to my friend's bratty sister.
Lynne: Why would you do that?
SJG: I was an idiot.
Helen: You've made some really bad choices, haven't you?
SJG: Apparently. What about you? Did you keep your troll dolls?
Helen: Of course. I'm not an idiot.
SJG: That explains the Porsche parked in front.
