I said, "Look! Aren't these wonderful baby dolls to play with?"
They all said, in unison, "No Mommy. No!"
So, that was that. No baby dolls.
Stuffed animals on the other hand...we have a zoo full.
Their beds are filled with Hello Kitty, bunnies, puppies, dragons, dinosaurs, kitty-cats, teddy bears, birdies, frogs,. The list of stuffed "friends" is a long one.
My dear friend, Rhonda, found American Dolls in a box (free stuff by the side of the road) and she thought of our Charlotte. I gratefully accepted the box of dolls with the hope that sometime in the near future Charlotte may change her mind. I've heard that these American Dolls are expensive and dearly loved by many little girls.
Here is her version of the Mr. Punch and Judy show.
Punch: "Here, take that!"
Judy: "Ahhhh..."
Punch: "Ouch, that hurts."
Judy: "You're a big baby."
Punch: "Ahhhh, hrumph, pow!"
Judy: collapses and then regains consciousness.
Judy: "Ahhh, hi-yah, pow!"
Punch: collapses and then regains consciousness.
They both hug and all is okay.
The show begins again with,
Punch: "Hello"!
Judy: "Good-bye".
She is pleased as punch with herself.
OH MY GOODNESS, what a charming blog! Dearest, I am amazed at how much we DO HAVE IN COMMON! I moved from L.A. to Massachusetts to go to school, then 14 years ago moved here to the Twin Cities. IT IS WONDERFUL. However, it is like PLUTO in terms of the weather!
