You know, so I could wear it to school and all the chicks would dig me (as if). It was a thigh-length pure white sweater with not much of a collar and white buttons. What I got was an OFF-white fisherman's sweater that went just a little below my waist. With a thick collar and brown buttons.<br />That was 38 years ago and mom has long since died.<br />Geez, you'd think I'd let it go, huh?Al Penwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052950809151897315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-44409848442351810972013-01-17T09:54:50.636+11:002013-01-17T09:54:50.636+11:00I learned early on not to ask for toys and stuff I learned early on not to ask for toys and stuff Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213055916162799647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-18803238303407573052013-01-17T03:03:56.665+11:002013-01-17T03:03:56.665+11:00Oh, I wanted the Sunshine Fun Family and their hou...Oh, I wanted the Sunshine Fun Family and their house in the worst way.

We had people calling us in the middle of the night asking for dolls with certain hair colors and eye colors. So I wish I would of known you back then. We bought 100s of dolls and there were always some to hand out. My kids still have some of them. My kids are all grown but the doll dressed in St. Louis Cardinal Baseball uniform is one that is still around.<br /><br />It never was that the dolls were cute, it was the fact they were so hard to get. It became a challenge for people that didn't have access to the manufacturer.<br /><br />I don't remember not getting what I wanted but I never wanted much. Every year I asked for a baby doll, or a art set or something equally cheap. Of course in the late 50's baby dolls probably cost $10.00 or something.Cperzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09062444081488414888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-16358710294516939852013-01-16T09:39:19.561+11:002013-01-16T09:39:19.561+11:00I always thought those dolls were darned ugly and ...I always thought those dolls were darned ugly and couldn't understand their popularity. I don't remember not getting something I really wanted, but my wants were pretty simple. However, I do remember that when I got my first bicycle for Christmas that it had a light on the front. The light required batteries. I wanted so badly to be able to turn on that light. I don't know why. I never rode the bike after dark. But my mom said no, it would be a waste of batteries. I've never forgotten how much I wanted to be able to turn on that silly light.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-12299264366888469842013-01-16T08:42:53.523+11:002013-01-16T08:42:53.523+11:00Everything I wanted, I got, although not everythin...Everything I wanted, I got, although not everything right away.
