Talky Tina had it in for dad (played by Telly Salavas) whom she taunts into madness.

What I find interesting (and disturbing) is that the standard feminist line seems to be that adoption is just another choice and there are sooooo many women who give birth but don't want to be mothers, so adoption is the answer. I suspect most of the women who buy into these ideas have never actually given birth.maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067284504038707207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-22383449732296416622010-10-11T12:49:21.317-02:002010-10-11T12:49:21.317-02:00My sister had a Chatty Cathy doll.

Love this!!! <br /> <br />Of course I had this doll, but I cut her hair and broke the string. <br /> <br />Maybe I shall invent the "Bitter Adoptee who misses her First Mom" doll? <br /> <br />Sayings will include, "You're not my REAL Mom", "Give me my OBC", "Ouch! You're stepping on my Primal Wound!" and "Get out of my way, Nancy Effay".Real Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361127479878590761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-59305924309136803862010-10-10T22:23:35.755-02:002010-10-10T22:23:35.755-02:00Love it!!!One of your best posts ever!!!
