Conditioning.....

OK...."Santa Baby"  is a perfect example of  the "conditioning" to which we are subjected, especially as girls, when we grow up.  I'm borrowing from Cheryl Huber's book, How to Get  from Where You are to Where You Want to Be.  I can hear my favorite bloggers going on about what we as women are expecting from life when this song, "Santa Baby" plays.  Maybe not.  They're pretty much used to me by now--to my odd choices of music, and my weird  kind of feminism (if that's what it can be called).  But  I've been reading Cheryl Huber's books  on the metro, and trying to accept the wisdom in them.  

So here's what Huber says about "Conditioning":  

The internal programming by which an individual is turned into a person who will fit into a given culture.  The conditioning process is initiated (usually unconsciously) by a child's primary caregivers, and continued and supported by family members,  institutions, and society at large.

 Well, what that says is that from our earliest days, we are taught how to think about things, especially ourselves, by the people who take care of us from the start.

I've got that.  But where does Eartha Kitt come in?  Ah...
