Mom and Dad still have an un-opened Cabbage Patch doll from that year. They keep moving it...I don't know why they haven't gotten rid of it. But, anyways, they bought it just in case no one found the African American twins for me.
Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I just remembered I also had a cornsilk kid with bright red hair. I don't remember her eyecolor either.
You still have the twins?
You still have the twins?
Hell, yeah! Though, they're in a box in my parents basement...along with their high chairs and all their clothes. I went nuts over those dolls. I think I had a preemie too, but I can't be sure.
See, we pretty much missed the Cabbage Patch Kids phenomenon in the UK. I remember it was on the news, though - we saw footage of piranha-like feeding frenzies of US shoppers mobbing toystores. It was all a bit jaw-dropping. (And, I have to admit - I always thought they were ugly dolls.)
Did you really have adoption papers with them?
edited for stray punctuation.
Did you really have adoption papers with them?
Yes, that you could send back and get I think a new birth certificate for the baby. You could also change the baby's name if you wished to.
Did you really have adoption papers with them?
Oh yeah. My mom has all my new birth certificates from my three. I have the one we need to send in for Emeline's, but I'm waiting to see if Em wasnts to chage her doll's name. Right now, the doll is named Athena RoseMarie.
My favorite doll as a child was the "My Child" doll. Did anyone else have those?
Thanks Beverly, ChiKat, vw, morning and a very affectionate greeting by my son is helping to bring me a bit of perspective. But yeah, the I suck is all about kindergarten anxiety. I keep trying to get Frances into a better kindergarten and I keep getting waitlisted. I should have all the buffistae sending Frances get-into-school vibes but it feels petty asking for them when there's folks who are truly ill, trying to find jobs, needing surgery, etc. But dang, between now and Sept 1 I may lose my teeny tiny mind.
meara, OF COURSE she's crushing you. YOu are totally crush worthy! I can't believe it took Seattle that long to realize it.
Burrell, it's not petty to want good things for your children. Tons of kindergarten~ma.
