She-Ra and the Evil Horde
I needed a break for the sickeningly sweet Disney princess play that my toddler Pixie has been obsessed with for a year. If I had to hear about her "woodland friends" one more time I was just going to lose it. My solution? Last week I started showing her the old She-Ra shows and running around the house with her and our pretend swords engaging the Evil Horde in combat. She quickly became obsessed with this power 80's mentality and is now the valiant rebel leader from the Whispering Woods with a warrior attitude.
Pixie's friend is over for a playdate today. Like most other three year olds, she came in full princess wear and wanted to play Cinderella. Instead, Pixie instructed her in the art of She-Ra and in no time the two of them were running around hiding and plotting against the Horde. But there's a problem. Her friend's linguistic skills are lacking. She's been yelling all morning, "Let's destroy the evil whore!" "I'm hiding from the evil whore." "The evil whore is after me!"
Her mother comes to pick her up from the playdate in just over an hour. I have that much time to teach her how to say "horDe" with finesse so I don't lose yet another reliable playdate. That, or make them play princess again. But I just can't go back to Disney. In the toss up between Snow White's woodland friends and She-Ra's evil whore, I'd take the whore any day.

Good ol' She-Ra. Been a long, long time since I thought about her. Didn't she...er, ride a unicorn or something?
