Dear Friends,
Over the years many of you have given my girls Barbies as gifts. Thank you. Others knew the love that both of my girls had for Barbie and they would give them Barbies that their daughters had outgrown. Thank you again.
My girls love to play with Barbies but to all of my family and friends please do not send us any more. Tonight we are cleaning the playroom and I realized just how many we had.
At last count there are over 50. And those are just the ones we found downstairs. I was shocked!!! How had it gotten so out of hand! Even the kids were surprised.
Even more shocking is that there was only one guy.
He is missing part of his leg which might have destined him for the trash but the girls decided years ago that he is an Iraqi war vet who was hit by a roadside bomb. He is a war hero!! So I guess it is ok that he has 49 wives.
So to conclude, thank you family and friends for your contributions to our huge collection but this Barbie refuge is closed. Even Madie said she doesn’t have time to keep them all in clothes. And my mother would die if she saw all of the naked Barbies.
Thank you,
The Lakes
