When I was little, my parents gave me a doll called Shrinking Violette. Shrinking Violette was a talking doll- pull the string, and her mouth would move, and she would say "I'm afraid to talk to people", "I'm just afraid of everything!" "People are always so BIG!", and "I have butterflies in my tummy."
Looking back, I really wonder why my mom would think this was an appropriate present for me- I didn't even like dolls. I liked stuffed animals. Maybe she thought I would be able to relate to Violette?
