Never cross an American Girl doll. We do not forget.

Did anyone else experience this? Tell me if I'm not alone

Okay so when I was 7-8, I saved up enough money to buy a custom American girl named Tia. Mostly bc my mom wanted to sew doll clothes, and so did I. Also because I was still in a cutesy, girly phase.

Not too long after, we start getting random letters in the mail from someone. She said her name was Jett, and she was Tia's older sister. She hadn't been bought yet, and she was touring the US as like, a traveling store or something.

It was so weird. It was like Toys logic, except some people were allowed to see them? Most of the letters I got were actually kind of horrific now that I'm reading some. In this one a guy named Bruce holds Jett over an alligator, so they sneak out and just wreck his boat. In another one one of the dolls wanders out into the night (I think that was Yellowstone) and doesn't ever come back.

But like, she bought legitimate things too? The t-rex tooth was from La Brea tar pits. There was probably more, but I haven't found them yet.

It stopped after a bit, so I guess she was bought. But was this normal? Was that a random guy from the factory who stumbled on our address, or did I have a random sugar sister? Was it actually the dolls?!?
