Also for some reason some people think a nine year old girl should not have had a purse shaped like a dog.

When I was a kid (ie, the eighties), there was an entire massive industry for backpacks and little girls purses in animal form. I know this because I was in fourth grade, his name was Rococo, and he was a racoon backpack. A very small backpack that could hold one (1) book and all my pencils, but his arms wrapped around my shoulders and I felt his love all day.

I know that is beside the point, but that is the most random thing I have read like, ever. Especially considering the Etsy frog-purse, made from a real, whole frog, mouth as opening. Which thanks to this post, will re-invade my nightmares tonight. Goddammit.
