One day the girls and I answered a knock on our door to find another dollhouse being thrust inside. Our neighbors in the next door apartment were moving, and they wanted to give us their granddaughter's dollhouse. We were happy to take it, and quickly turned the first dollhouse into "Grandma and Grandpa's House," using the "new" dollhouse for the main family's quarters. Funny....we had enough furnishings for TWO houses. Huh.
Anyway, it needs a bit of sprucing up, but with a coat of paint and some wallpaper, it will be as good as new.
The graffiti on the side of the house reads,
"No gandmas
onley 55 or oldr
No Famales
no Brts
no moms
no DaDs."
I think "Famales" is pronounced similarly to "tamales," and it was already there when it became ours. (Thank goodness, because only a Brt would write such a thing on the side of a family dollhouse.)
I showed you the graffiti so you could know how daring Millie was when she did this. (A Gandma! Famale! In the house!)
Last week, after I'd
McGamma, behold your little t.v.-head! (And that's Rocky in the corner...)
The girls only watch the occasional movie, in part because we have no television reception and in part because t.v. turns the brains of little girls to mush, but L.I. is a television paradise, and Millie wanted to recreate it here the only way she could.
is that a SHOWER?!?! Golly. We'd better not invite that family over to OUR dollhouse. How pathetic we'd seem....
ReplyDeleteNor would I want our dolls to see the stately mansion that your dolls enjoy. Plus, though yours aren't shower-clean, they're mighty well-fed, and, in my opinion, good food beats being clean any day of the week. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! I wish I had had that splendour when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you cleared up what "Brts" stood for. I wouldn't want the Brits who read your blog to get all upset! ;)
