Another shocker i know, right! LOL yes, growing up i was a big girl in a lot of ways. i never really knew that anything was different about that for many of my early years as a child. i'm not really sure how my parents had the strength to deal with it, but somehow they managed to with dignity and i cannot thank them enough for that.
Anyway, Strawberry Shortcake started getting popular, toy wise, in the late 70s. i can't remember when i got introduced to these toys, or by whom. But i do remember getting my first miniature for Christmas when i was in kindergarten. It was Apricot. (Kudos if you remember which one that is lol) But, of the original ones that came out, Lemon Meringue was always my favorite. i'm not really sure why, but she was. Maybe it's because she was the big girl out of all the others. The same way that, for a long time, Blair was my favorite on Facts of Life lol Or maybe i just had a thing for blondes at the time....who knows.
i always wanted a Lemon Meringue doll when i was a child, but never got one :( So, last year for our anniversary, Michael was brave enough to get me one haha :) It's in its original box and has her pet Frappe in there with here...i was very excited. Too excited, but oh well. That's love for you!!
