While we were there, we saw some baby things, because Burlington for some reason thinks that people will spontaneously pick up plush door hangers the same way they pick up candy and magazines. Eva immediately called out the bullshit of boy-themed items saying "I'm a superhero" while girl-themed items say "I sparkle" (though we agreed that if Batman ran around throwing glitter in villains' eyes, Gotham would be much more fabulous), but meanwhile I was entirely too charmed by a little door hanger emblazoned with the phrase "the snuggle is real". It was just too adorable. If I got that on some contrasting doggie shirts you know they'd wear the hell out of them.

The narrative of the woman who sleeps with the enemy in order to kill him isn't as celebrated as that of the frustrated man who (understandably O_o) stalks and rapes, but it's every bit as old and occasionally gets referenced in contemporary pop culture (see Rene Vorbretten's great-grandmother in the Vorkosigan series). Perhaps it's time to revitalize that narrative.
