The witch, Mrs. She plays with them all day long and there are even extra chairs at the kitchen table for them. Her imaginary life is blurred with reality to the point where she doesn't know when to turn it off.ĭory has pretend friends that are monsters or witches or gnomes. Dory reminds me of a younger version of Roscoe Riley or Junie B. They finally do when she shoves her hand down a toilet to retrieve a errant bouncy ball. ![]() Similarly, Dory Fantasmagory is a cranked up Tasmanian devil that is annoying and sympathetic but who desperately wants her siblings to play with her. I followed my siblings around asking if I could play with them and getting a resounding "No!" over and over again. Remember building forts out of the couch cushions? Or having your siblings holler, "Mom! Barbie (insert your name) is bothering us!" Or being told you were a baby? Or wanting to play with your siblings so badly you let them trap you under the covers even though you were claustrophobic? I used to scale the sides of the doorway to the top and hold on to the ledge because my siblings thought it was cool. ![]()
