[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 662794, member: 1550"] Again, I am so sorry if I made you feel bad or ashamed or anything negative. I didn't mean to. Shame on me, actually. I remember Tiny Tears and paper dolls!!!! I don't remember if I was allowed to have a Tiny Tears...I think that doll passed my mother's "not too ugly to own" list, but I'm not sure. Paper dolls I loved too. I so love the scenario of you and I and maybe everyone having a party with our inner child's favorite toys, loving them and hugging them the way we wished we'd been loved. Maybe on a beach? Why is the idea of a beach so calming. The splashing softly of waves upon the shore, I think. A setting sun in the background. The sweet smell of an old charcoal grill with hamburgers and hotdogs and brats (not "you're a brat, but Wisconsin brats) filling the air. Kind adult faces smiling at our fun. Of course the faces are obscure as they are not our real mothers in younger days. They are the mothers we wanted to have. And, if it applies, the fathers we wished we'd had. Our kindly siblings are building sand castles and inviting us to join them, but we just want to play dolls and they are fine with that. There is no drama. No strife. No namecalling. If only....(sigh) [/QUOTE]
