You worded it in such a way that is very funny, but I do recall my fair share of bad words trying to wrangle a barbie doll out of it's package.

I've been sick, so I still have lots to do, but Christmas night I hope to hit the hay real early. The kids might have other plans though.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<BR/><BR/>CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19516681.post-1166504980288661682006-12-19T00:09:00.000-05:002006-12-19T00:09:00.000-05:00I'm a fan of "Antiques Roadshow", and one thing th...I'm a fan of "Antiques Roadshow", and one thing that stands out in the comments is "The toy would have been even more valuable if the box it was packed in, had been in pristine condition!" Makes you wonder just how much value the manufacturers put on today's toys, doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>Have a Happy Christmas.

Good Luck buddy you are going to need it with having two girls and two sets of dolls with accessories. I think you may need to buy a second set of sizzors, one for your husband and of course one for you. Merry Christmas and good luck...
