Hi
Aviva -I dont wear a wedding ring either even tho I
did get married. my finger grew out of it years ago and since my husband
doesnt wear one I dont see why I should. Actually, when I was a little girl and
asked my mummy how do you make babies? she told me "when you get married
and sleep with your husband they come -I (smart kid that I was) replied well how
come you have only had 3 babies and Dottie Huta has 9 kids and you sleep with
Daddy every night? -Ha stumped her there!!!
Actually I was so in stitches about Midge as the PR
girl was describing her to me that I couldnt resist asking (tongue firmly
in my cheek) "Im not sure about this -is she married?"
"oh yes Pr girl replied very seriously
-her wedding story is on the box!!!!!" Then I cracked up and spoilt it all as
she realised I was only joking.
I simply cant be serious -and one of my lovely
props happens to be a 1957 book about talking to children about childbirth
and sex -it is a total hoot -I just wanna read a page out loud!! My Monday
interview will be live and is with Yvonne Adele (alias Ms Megabyte) I have done
several interviews with her before shes good fun and has a nine year old and a
baby about 11months old -shes very pro breastfeeding so is possibly ok about
birth too. Dunno about Barbies tho-
actually another concern about Midge in teh US was
that she would be encouraging teen pregnancies -not sure how little girls would
be able to figure out how she got that way from her (and hubby Alan's )
equipment - when my girls were little they used to play families with the
Barbies - the Fisher price little people were the children and Action man was
always the Daddy -I dont think they thought Ken was quite up to it -I remember
Barbie driving a (tonka) truck one day while Daddy (Action Man) minded the
babies -Larissa was a right madam and bossed the little boy she was playing with
-told him to give the baby ezpressed milk if she wasnt back when the baby woke
up!!
Another day she also shocked hell out of a
neighbour when she "gave birth" to a doll who was tucked up her dress -she made
some very realistic noises -squatted and "dropped" the baby then pulled up her
shirt and breastfed -she was about 3 years old and Sarah was a baby at the time
-Neighbour was a right prude with one 4 year old girl - this neighbour even
ironed underpants so probably thought I (who barely recognised an iron) was
quite a savage anyway - so of course would have savage children!
I am looking forward to some funny interviews -
mattel may or may not be amused!!
The last pregnant doll was a Judy doll -I have an
American friend called Judy so she reminded me of teh name.
Pinky.
PS -yes lets just ship a boat load of Happy Family
dolls to Iran and save the chilren !!
