Filiodollphia

Filiodollphia: noun. Filiodollphia is to have a child who is a doll. Many children go through an episode of mental filiodollphia at some point and care for their plastic playmate until its head gets stuck in a lawnmower, stifling the parental instinct in some children for another thirty years. We deliberately wrote children rather than girls not because some of our male writers have played with dolls as little boys – which all of us firmly deny – but because we wish to combat stereotypes in writing that irritate the dormant feminists in us.
