My Bratty Pony

Whoa, Nelly! What is going on with THIS? This strangely flirty plastic pony was accurately described as “disturbing” by the mother of the child who loves it. The horse, which five-year-old Oona has named “Beautiful,” was a Goodwill purchase by Oona’s grandmother. Yes, you can just go ahead and put those artsy-craftsy Etsy toys that look so awesome on your baby’s dresser right into a box up in the attic. The heart wants what the heart wants.
