This morning I was watching a show that was talking about the 50th anniversary of Barbie. The host and her guest started having a side conversation about who their Barbie was dating when they didn't have a Ken doll. The guest mentioned that her Barbie was dating Huckleberry Pie from her Strawberry Shortcake collection. It was cute and then I remembered I was just as bad as a kid.
My brother and I had a play room and played a lot together. But we had to be fair to each other. So when we played with his hot wheels, we took turns picking our cars and then played for hours making roads on the carpet; incorporating our Lego to make towns, etc. So when it was my turn, I, of course, wanted to play Barbies. Since I didn't have any sisters, my brother was all I had. So... He loved playing Barbies with me on 1 condition... His GI Joe figures had to be introduced. Of course... what man doesn't want to get together with Barbie even GI Joe. I didn't care, he was agreeing to play Barbies with me. Yes GI Joe was a little short but Barbie didn't have a lot to choose from, all she had was Ken. My brother and I played for hours and a few times, Barbie got happily married to Sergeant Slaughter. Okay now I am all grown up and I have 2 beautiful daughters so I don't see any reunions between Barbie and Sergeant Slaughter or any other GI Joe character but you never know who Barbie will step out with in our house. Who did your Barbie date? Feel free to share.
