ME TOO ! My friend went to Buffalo and got tickets and never got for me as expected. I didn't hold a grudge but we are no longer friends.
In turn i had daughter cook on big stove instead of that
Easy Bake Oven she wanted. Hope she forgot.

No, I never did get a Barbie. But I made sure that my daughter had all the Barbies she wanted - along with a car, clothes, etc. for them.
Hmmmmm, guess I'm not over the disappointment. It's only been 50 years - time to move on Sara!

I never got a real Barbie, but I did get an imitation one. Some of the first things I sewed was clothes for that imitation Barbie, on a treadle machine in the early 60's.
