I do not have the guts to take one of them out in public yet...
I know I will suffer much ridicule from my family and possibly from passerbys. I know, I know...it shouldn't matter, but I don't have really high self esteem and something like that will just knock me down.
I did, however, bring Addy to my Thesis and Seminar class one evening becuase one of the women in my class was doing her thesis on the slave narratives and when I told her Addy's story she really wanted to see her.
I brought her in in a plastic bag, and only took her out for a little while.
I felt funny having a doll with me and did get some strange looks from others in the class.
I don't know if I have the guts to bring one of the girls out again, but let us know how it goes if you do decide to bring one of them with you to the park.
