dear american girl doll company... i really dont like u anymore!

Dear American Girl Doll Company:

I would like to personally thank you for sending me your catalog in the mail every so often.  Your little circular ads that feature your extremely overpriced dolls and accessories keep my Asperger's daughter occupied for hours-making lists of things she wants me to buy from you.  Really she doesnt need to make the list, as she simply writes everything in the book down on paper, when she can simply hand me the book and say "order this".  The only thing I have ever purchased from you is a measly old doll that cost me an entire day's worth of pay and a 7.00 hair brush that resembles the one I bought for my cat at a petstore for 2 bucks.  Your accessories, while cute and amusing, if i do say so myself, make my accessories look like garbage-not my doll accessories, but MY accessories... Your dolls have nicer things than most adults i know.  Why would i spend 36.00 for pajamas for this doll that contributes absolutely nothing to my home except leaving her overpriced clothing on my floor to get sucked into my vacuum cleaner, when I am too cheap to buy myself a 36.00 pair of pjs?  For what you are asking for this doll to have a dining room table, and all the food and place settings to go on top, I will be spending on purchasing my teen daughter a futon bed.  A real futon bed that she can actually sleep on, not one too small for even the cat to lay on!  Now. Should you start selling automated, self-cleaning cat litter boxes-for big, live kitties and not your stuffed kitties) I would probably need your catalog.  But until then, please stop sending them! My daughter, as i may have mentioned earlier has Asperger's.  Part of this disorder includes developing obsessing with things that interest her.  Toys would fall into that catagory.  Therefore, she will carry around this catalog following me around the house telling me what i need to start saving for, until the pages start to fall out of it.  Then she will proceed to take one of her school folders, empty the important things from it, and stuff the loose pages into said folder for about another 2 weeks.  Or til the point where i have had enough and sneak into her room while she is sleeping and snatch it to throw it away.  Thank you American Girl, for turning me into a mother who desperately steals an item of interest and facination from my young daughter in order to obtain a moments peace.  If you must waste your postage, and send those catalogs to my home, would you mind stuffing them into those black plastic wrappers that some of the girlie magazines send their stuff in? that way i can quickly throw it away before she sees it and the cycle is then repeated! Or else, start sending my daughter free crap (at a risk to your physical well-being, of course!).  Thank you for your assistance in this matter! greedy bastards!
