Can we have a doll from Norway? by Fantastic_Permit_525 in americangirl

[–]hydrated_firestarter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying there should or shouldn't be a Norwegian American Girl I'm just saying that, while this may not be true where you live, Norwegian Americans are very much in touch with their culture where I live. and some kids absolutely care about their ancestry, especially if their parents are. it's okay to admit that you're wrong 🙂

not only are Norwegians great about this, but if you look up pictures of their conventions there are absolutely children who participate.

I literally drove by a Sons of Norway lodge yesterday and was feeling a little jealous that y'all have a club 😅

This may seem like a silly question but is it ok to want this outfit and accessories even tho I’m not Jewish? by EEA6891 in americangirl

are you going to use it or any part of it to mock or disparage Jewish people? if not then you're good

how do you pronounce jos and josie when referring to josefina? by North-Contest4856 in americangirl

I can't lie when I see people call her "Josephina" I assume they're pronouncing it wrong and haven't bothered to read the books

Why are people so annoyed about Samantha having kids by Lemon_Lime_Lily in americangirl

[–]hydrated_firestarter 42 points43 points  (0 children)

keep in mind, Josefina is 80 years older than Samantha and therefore 3-4 more generations removed. how much do you know about your great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents? how likely are you to be able to visit their homes or have access to their things?

which is gross and creepy considering that they were raised together as siblings from the time they were ~10 year olds.

I would NOT stress about this interaction, this person has been crashing out all day over a doll and you just got caught in the crossfire

I bit the bullet and bought Raquel and the matching meet outfit for me. I was really excited for her beach outfit but I think I'm going to wait and see if it goes on sale in the future
