When I was a little girl....

HE-MAN!!!!!

and WWF wrestling figures!!!!

Actually I used to pull the hair out of the dolls, so no dolls for me....I never was able to hold them lady-like for some reason.

I had two little teddy bears though, their names were Botchagaloup and Bob--cutest little guys ever.....I still have 'em--they're in the attic.

I had a Holly Hobby doll that rocked my socks off! She vanished sometime in junior high school. My mother claims she disintegrated but I suspect she was thrown out like so much trash.

My 2 most cherished childhood items I still have. Raccy and Rumpeta, a racoon and an elephant. They are the reason I learned the basics of sewing! I've been stitching up burst seams and reattaching tails and ears on them for years!

I was SO not a 'doll girl' .. I was the ultimate tomboy so I do not have any of these fond memories you ladies have of dollies.

I did always have various stuffed animal doggies and kitties because I desparately wanted a pet and my mean parents wouldn't let us have one

Oh yea, and I did LOVE my Barbies... but that was when I was little older and getting more girlie, like ages 9 , 10 ..and older..

are you trying to say i'm weirder than you???
j/k..I know what you meant...

I was kind of a tomboy-- I didn't like dolls much. I loved stuffed animals though.

When I was really young I had a stuffed tiger named Timmy that my grandma gave me. I took it EVERYWHERE and made up elaborate stories about him.

When I was starting kindergarten, my mom figured it was time to break the habit of me dragging Timmy Tiger around everywhere, so she told me Timmy DIED. Of the flu. I have no idea why she would have possibly said this, but for years later anytime I heard someone had the flu, I thought they were dying!!!!
