The story of my first "Cabbage Patch Kid"...
One wonderful Christmas in the 80's, Santa brought me a "Cabbage Patch Kid". There was something different about this cabbage patch kid. I couldn't pin point it...she was just a bit off from other's I'd seen. But I loved her anyway, and was sooo happy to finally have one of my own.
She went everywhere with me, and at night time she cowered under my blankets with me, hiding from the boogie man. (or the giant green big bird - a story for another day) We were inseperable, and I was soooo happy to finally have one of my very own. Until the day my parents told me there was something wrong with her and that I couldn't touch her anymore. That she would make me sick. I was crushed. How could this happen? Why? Whyyyy???
Because she was fake. Santa brought me a FAKE Cabbage Patch Kid. A TOXIC fake cabbage patch kid.
I remember my Mom putting my doll into a big plastic bag...and I slept with her one last time and then went with my parents to a store where I had to hand her over to the lady behind the counter. Santa got us real ones the next Christmas, but I never forgot my girl in the bubble.

That's crazy! Toxic Cabbage Patch Kid??? I would have been so sad...I'm sure you were. Did you believe in Santa after that?
O NO! Do you remember then the twisted take on those called "The Garbage Pail Kids"? I never knew a real person who had one...Thanks for sharing...{HUGS} ;)
Holy cow, I have NEVER heard that one! Must of been from China!
I was in high school when they came out and I remember people being trampled that Christmas. They were all sold out, yet my friends parents drove all over to get her one. She was in high school, I still cannot believe she wanted one!
I had a Cabbage Patch doll - Loved it!
Thanks for sharing and coming by today.
Hugs
Oh, that was just too sad! You must have been broken hearted! Glad you survived the 80's!!!
Awww...I've wanted one ever since I can remember. Maybe, this year :-).
(Hey, remember the Garbage Pail Kids?)
Happy Halloween Natalie!!!
OH MY GOSH! I'm glad I was not the only one who wanted to be Jem and She-ra! I thought I was She-RA at some point in my life!
She-Ra!!! I'd forgotten! What fun!
Sorry about your cabbage patch. My first one was a fake too. They were tough to get around here at the time. THe one in my picture is actually a realy one and my daughter now plays with it.
awww that would have scarred me to give up my "cabbage patch kid" :(
and I so wanted to be part of the Misfits on Jem. ha!
My parents refused to get me a Cabbage Patch Kid because they were so expensive. My aunt ended up getting me one. Her name was Doreen Edit. I think my mom threw her out a few years later. What's the bitterness between my mom and Cabbage Patch Kids?
FUN post!
