Barbies

I have become convinced one can foresee the future through Barbies.
Why would I say such thing you ask?
Because I can look into my past and see what myself and my sisters have become by looking at how we played Barbies.
Once upon a time there were four little girls who played Barbies in the rec room. One little girl (we'll call her Sister 1) had a beautiful Barbie bed she was very proud and possessive of AND a Ken doll. Another little girl (we'll call her Sister 2) had a beautiful doll named Francie who had dark, beautiful hair. Yet another little girl (you guessed it, we're calling her Sister 3) had Barbie and a GI Joe with movable arms he could actually put around Barbie and a cool jeep. The youngest darling girl (Sister 4) had a cheap imitation of Barbie named "New Doll" but she also had a Barbie camper, so New Doll could keep on the move.
As these little girls grew up, a pattern began to emerge. Sisters 1, 2, and 3 kept beautiful houses they would spend hours preparing. Sister 4 took her doll "visiting" without bothering to build a house or even dress her doll. Naked New Doll would be tossed across the room when the ladies of the house saw her approach their door. New Doll desperately wanted to have company and get her Barbie friends to come on camping adventures with her, only to be rebuffed because their homes were not yet ready for company.
Sister one enjoyed snuggling in her cozy home with her beloved Ken doll. (She also freakishly bit the feet off all the dolls in the neighborhood.) Sister 2 kept her house and doll beautiful,dressed to the nines and loved to cut the hair of ALL the Barbie neighborhood. She enjoyed "piercing" their ears (which basically meant a straight pin through the Barbie's head). Sister 3 also had a beautiful home, but she also had that cool jeep and tough GI Joe.
Now::
Fast forward 35-40 years.
Sister 1 has a beautiful home and enjoys snuggling down with her husband. She "plans" her spontaneous moments.
Sister 2 also has a beautiful home. She loves clothes and hair as well as her husband. She also cuts hair of others. She, too, must plan spontaneity in advance.
Sister 3, again with a beautiful house. She is slightly more spontaneous (I credit the jeep) and has a hardworking, tough husband.
Sister 4 lives in a hovel and is uninterested in fashion (though NOT naked), but she is rarely home, as she loves to visit others and is willing to change plans at the drop of a hat. While there is no way in hell she will go camping, she does enjoy going.

And an added note: Sister 1 who freakishly bit the feet off all the dolls in the neighborhood grew up to have the worst feet on the planet. That's right--bunions, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs--you name it. Perhaps she is a prophet and knew her feet cause her problems. Or maybe it's Barbie's payback for her biting off all their feet. We'll never really know for sure.
