My mother bought me three of the Sound of Music dolls back in the 60s. I had Maria, Gretel and Friedrich. All of them became spies and lived very hard and dangerous lives. Many were the times that they had to leap out of a two story house to safety.

LOL - I love that!

We were Navy brats and lived all over the place. We only saw our grandparents occasionally. Our dear grandmother frequently got my sister and me Barbie things for birthdays and Christmases. We had Barbies, Kens, Skipper, Midge…and the Barbie Dream House and Dream Car.

My sister and I sometimes used items from the Clue game to set up elaborate murder scenes in Barbie’s Dream House. We also sometimes sent the Dream Car hurtling down a hallway to crash into something, ejecting Barbie and Ken.

Sounds like you might have fit in with us. 😄

I think we would have been best buds. My mother refused to get me a Barbie doll because she was “too mature”. I just wanted her so I could buy her outfits. But I guess I should have told Mom that. She always got me Skipper for Christmas and I had to be thankful because my parents had six kids and not much money. I had a great Mom. I wish I had those Sound of Music dolls back.
