Alas, there are no little girls in my house begging for dolls this year. I'd buy one for the boys, but so far any doll which has reached their hands becomes a top-heavy weapon, good for swinging or as a surface-to-air missile. Somehow I think this would fail to fulfill my desire to see a child of mine nurture a baby doll with the tender care I lavished on my own.
Maybe 2008 will be our year to add a baby girl to the melee around here. My back should be better by Spring. Then again, having another girl in the house would be an entirely alien experience at this point. Who will teach her to be a girl? Certainly not her mother. *burp*
Christmas 1986. I was 7 years old.
21 years have since passed.
Good grief, Charlie Brown... where did the time go? And how did I not notice that I had freakishly large feet???

seems like all those toys are making a comeback.. I recently saw 1983 edition My Little Pony's... not to mention the Care Bears and Rainbow Brite
my daughter is getting a My Little Pony this year, and I'm trying to convince my wife NOT to get her a Cabbage Patch Doll also. Though my son is getting Transformers. Possibly Star Wars Transformers. A combination of the greatest two toys ever created in Star Wars guys and Transformers. Yes I didn't like the 80's whilst i was in them, but the toys sure were radical.
