But I cut her hair short and she became the token male or poor cousin of Barbie...which I got when I turned 9. Which means I was still playing with Barbie then - something my now 10yr old thinks is really funny and babyish. Oh I was so much more innocent than today's 9 and 10yr olds!Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533946487160703367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3994764073175934700.post-14071602928911760522012-06-25T03:26:17.135-07:002012-06-25T03:26:17.135-07:00We didn't have much as kids either - but we al...We didn't have much as kids either - but we all had warm beds and food on the table ... and we had each other!

There was always someone to play with and there was plenty of love. I too got a Cindy doll instead of a Barbie. Mine lost her feet and ended up as a paralympic double-foot amputee for gymnastics (in my imagination) <br /><br />Thanks for that walk down memory lane.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3994764073175934700.post-88203850737751434562012-06-24T21:21:40.434-07:002012-06-24T21:21:40.434-07:00Nail on the head!

I try to tell my kids this when they whinge for the latest gadget or designer shoes, I'm sure they don't believe I never had any new clothing when I was a kid (except undies of course! for Christmas). We have all become way too materialistic lately (I do love my new MacPro Air though....).Beccihttp://beccibird.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3994764073175934700.post-73488551030349600572012-06-24T20:29:54.898-07:002012-06-24T20:29:54.898-07:00Amen to that!
