I didn’t know anything about Vanished and Gone. Some kids are real suckers for pretending something has life when it doesn’t. (She was easier to talk to Kass hadn’t committed any atrocities on her way across the plains.) Rhodey fell in love with her for a while, but she told him he was just distracting her from her career. Kass got along better with Rhodey than Pioneer Barbie had. It’s hard to play with Pioneer Barbie after you learn about what the pioneers did, and one day she had a black evening gown and her hair was brushed out of the little Western ringlets into a ponytail held by a clip that kept popping open, and her name was Kass because that was the name of the girl on East Side High who wore black. It’s just that cruelty was something I saw no reason to spare them just because they only had me to turn to. I gave him life and feelings, the same as the rest. Rhodey had gotten caught in the tangle of Pioneer Barbie’s low self-esteem, and it wasn’t fair, but nothing is really fair Pioneer Barbie and I knew that already, and if Rhodey didn’t, then it was time he learned.ĭon’t think I hated Rhodey.

Pioneer Barbie was acutely aware that I had wanted an American Girl doll for my birthday and she was the much cheaper compromise my parents had agreed on without asking me. I knew how deeply her words cut him, but I had no feelings about it it was just how things were. Rhodey the Rhodesian Rhinoceros had been hurt by terrible things Pioneer Barbie had said in fits of anger. But understanding and empathy are different. It was because nobody felt for them like I did, my mother said, like it was something to be proud of. I did it with anything, when I was young my toys were always in the middle of some intense plot that nobody outside could understand. Some kids do that-they imprint on empty objects, they give them stories and opinions and a will, until they feel half-inhabited even to grownups, who have to pretend that they care how Chrissy’s blanket feels about things for so long that one day when Chrissy’s at school they step on the blanket and apologize. The deer hated the lamp at the end of the pier. The deer came back over and over to places it didn’t understand.
