You have a picture!!!! And you...OhmygoshArbu!!!!! You have a picture!!!! And you know her whole real name! I always wondered where that name came from.<br />When that Arbu story is related to me, I always hear the Mybu version, which is just as funny.<br />I had no idea your parents were so conservative! I wasn't allowed to have Barbies (unrealistic body image), but I did get my first pair of earrings when I was 10 or something. I guess my parents didn't know about that bad girl/fighting problem.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09983236449210019827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-47037325823587744832010-08-24T23:11:53.931-05:002010-08-24T23:11:53.931-05:00Hai my friend,

We did learn a lot about the war as we we're in war too and had our own tragedies. I suppose you've heard about Anne Frank? She's like the Dutch Sarah.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-19296643958566896762010-08-24T18:06:45.414-05:002010-08-24T18:06:45.414-05:00Very funny.

I LOVE playing with them, even though my 9 year old has moved on, to earrings? shall I say. I had to wait until I was 10, so I sure as hell didn't make her wait. She got them before 1st grade. I told her she had to read 10 books and we would go and get her ears pierced.

The only difference is, my sisters had all the Barbies, and I had to actually cut my OWN hair into the Dorothy Hamill style. Oh man... 1976 was a bad school picture year. LOL<br /><br /> I, too, had to wait to get my ears pierced. BUT, as the youngest of 8 girls, the rules became a bit lax once they got down to me. The original Dad Rule was 18, then it snuck down to 15. Same with fingernail polish. But when I was 13, Dad softened up. Lucky me... being the youngest pans out sometimes!<br /> Love the earrings on the brandy glass. Great idea! I never would have thought of that.<br /> Thanks for the laughs. :-)MaryB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16589032491549060524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-92003876743924541602010-08-23T10:01:37.787-05:002010-08-23T10:01:37.787-05:00Loved reading this post!!

BUT, my Mom did not tell us that we had to WAIT until the summer when we visited my Uncle Jiggs (who was a doctor) to pierce our ears!<br /><br />We turned 13 in March and didn't get them pierced until July, which seemed like an eternity to me.<br /><br />Now Hannah? She has three piercings on each ear, her belly button, nose and now Monroe (think right above the lip). Be careful what you say - I said "when you turn 18 you can pierce anything you want."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-37950500483864013112010-08-23T09:09:05.528-05:002010-08-23T09:09:05.528-05:00That was hilarious, Shelley.
