In the past McDonald's would give away a Polly in their Happy Meals. These were enough for my little girl. She added them to her toy collection (a collection of various cluttered toy bins). But one day as we were shopping, she chose to open up to me and reveal the traumatic mess her life had become (as traumatic a mess a 6 year olds life could be) all because......her Pollys.. didn't bend. they couldn't turn their heads.. and worst of all!!!! they couldn't sit down.. she NEEDED real pollys. not these sad Happy Meal excuse for Polly. She spent a good 45 minutes lamenting her misfortune. It was the longest drive home ever... (for me at least)
The next holiday that a rolled by she indeed got her Pollys. REAL Pollys! with moving parts and nice cute "squishy" outfits. And thus began my life walking around w/a pocket quite full of Pollys..
