American Quote by Sarah Sherman
“I don't remember having many dolls, but I remember my grandma bought me this giant coffee table book called 'The History of Barbie.' I remember being obsessed with that. All the girls had American Girl dolls, but my mom thought it was stupid and didn't want me to have them.”
