Boy Toy

She's a modern-day princess and he falls in love at first sight.

She's so beautiful in her pink riding outfit --her soft sweater gently clinging to her, her small feet clad in shiny black boots, a jaunty cap upon her silken hair.

She takes his breath away as she stands beside her pedigreed mount, her picture-perfect home the ideal backdrop for her fairy tale life.

She's bright and shiny and new and his, all his.

His brothers can laugh all they want. And Clark can keep his stupid GI Joe. Five year-old Pete knows Barbie's the doll for him.
