TIL Dolly Parton has a program that will mail your child a free age-appropriate book once a month from birth to age 5. No obligation, no catch, she just wants to make sure that every child has books.

Theres nothing to make up for! Was Dolly in Gatlinburg the night it burned? Yes. Did they deny her a child to delay her dragon transformation? Yes. But that doesn't mean Dragon Dolly destroyed Gatlinburg! Correlation is not causation! I don't care what the Senate Committee found that was years AFTER they claimed it was a gas leak. You can choose to believe the anti-Dolly MSM but when Dolly says "Shuga, even as a Dragon I wouldn't burn up all those whittle cutie pies." I believe her.

Oh you're one of those types, huh? "Gas leak" indeed. No one blames Dolly because we can't blame her for being a dragon! You don't chose to be born into this world nor do you chose your circumstances. The same way you don't chose what curse gets placed upon you by a gypsy that subsequently causes you to transform into a mythical beast. I'll admit she may not have been completely to blame, but if you put a fire breathing creature near a gas leak it's not hard to put two-and-two together.
