Current Mood: grumpy

When I was a kid, I had a few Cabbage Patch Dolls. (Hey, I bet most of you did, too!)

I remember when the preemie ones came out and I have to say, now that I've had a premature baby? I think that that is one of the most disturbing toys I've ever heard of. Really, they should come with a little toy plastic incubator and a respirator machine, don't you think? Then little girls can play doctor and mommy at the same time!

Bah, don't mind me, I haven't had my caffeine yet today.

Ha ha ha, yeah! I actually never had any, but I have an adult friend who collected them as a teenager and still has dozens of them.

I was a little young for CPK--my sister was all about them, though--but I do vaguely remember the premies. It really is kinda gruesome, innit?

At the Cabbage Patch hospital, there were incubators.

There were incubators and such for the preemies in the stores where they were sold ---at least in NY, where the Cabbage Patch stores looked like hospitals. The staff was dressed as docs and nurses.

I do have to admit I've been on the hunt for a realistic preemie doll. {not for my kids though!} I've started knitting for a charity that makes preemie clothes and blankets, and I have NO idea if my sizes are even close. It would be a lot easier to design hats and stuff if I had a doll that was close.

They should come with the $500,000 bill as well, just for realism.

I had 2 preemie's so, yeah... I'm a tad disturbed by the idea of a preemie toy. Although, Cabbage Patch Babies creeped me out in general.
