Cathy, my little friend at age five, loved to talk
My big sister was a bully; no meaner
One day she got mad.
Chatty Cathy so close,
F~L~E~W;
Cracking her head against the wall.
Her eye balls fell out.
Her words now slurred.
Little friend Cathy ~I cried Boo Hoo
I remember Chatty Cathy! I think mine had a similar demise! Great retro 55!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to sock your sister in the eye. Good 55!
ReplyDeleteMan!!! You know what she'd be worth with the original box?
ReplyDeleteExcellent 55 Bootsy!!!
Thank you so much for joining in the Friday Funfest!!
Have a Stellar Week-End....G
That is mean!
ReplyDeleteThat was very mean!
ReplyDeleteouch, that was a heart wrenching 55. my sister put strawberry shorcake stamps all over my gi joe comic books...it took a while to get over it.
ReplyDeletea 55 update. Not too long after that event that did mar my childhood, well she was sent away to "bad girl" school. I was so glad to be rid of her.
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS brought this story up when I was anywhere near my sister. She bought me a newer version blonde one when I was 27 ... nope it was not quiet the same, but it was a big E for effort!
What a cruel thing to do to your poor defenseless doll. Older sister hummm...
ReplyDeleteGood 55 indeed
Hmmmmmmm, I was the older sister. Not quite so devilish, but not always too nice either. Fortunately now, we leave each others dolls alone!
ReplyDeleteMy 55 is posted here.
Have a wonderful weekend.

What a terrible blow! Siblings, I tellya, they make us what we are....today.
ReplyDeleteMy 55 is a twist on Ichabod this week. [scroll down below my Show n Tell as always] Here is my 55
The fact the original doll is worth so much today says there must have been a lot of mean sisters or brothers.
ReplyDeleteGreat 55
I have finished my 55.
You’ll find it
HERE.
.
But it’s a groaner.
A lesson to women everywhere not to talk too much!
ReplyDeletei had a mean sister!! i can totally relate
ReplyDeleteAww, such a sad fate. I do remember her and I use her name today to describe my yacky friends.
ReplyDeleteI can just hear the slurred words. You must have been broken hearted at the time, but it is funny in retrospect. My 55 is also posted.
ReplyDeleteOh no, poor Cathy! What a poignant reminder of the toys we've loved and lost, as children.
ReplyDeleteBTW, do we have the same sister...??
I had a Chatty Cathy! Great 55!
ReplyDeleteI remember chatty cathy dolls but was never lucky enough to own one! I'd have died had my sis broken something that beloved.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny the odd things we remember from childhood, is it not?
Hi! My name is Jessie and I'm a new visitor from Softly Spoken.
ReplyDeletePoor Chatty Cathy, but she still lives on in your 55! Good work!
