When I was little (around 8 or 9 I think) there was a Barbie that every little girl wanted and lots of my friends had. It was called "Peaches and Cream Barbie" She had the most beautiful peach dress with a long flowing skirt and a peach wraparound.
I had always heard the term "peaches and cream" and wondered what it would taste like. If they named a Barbie after it, it must be a really wonderful dessert.
So, my dad went out to the store and bought a peach and some real cream. Then he cut up the peach,put it in a bowl and poured some cream over it and gave it to me.
It tasted awful. Not sweet at all. Not what I was expecting at all.
So I didn't eat it.
What a waste.
My dad was probably a bit annoyed. But I don't remember it being a big deal.
I wanted to try it, so he let me.
That's what kind of dad my dad was.
My friend Dani had that Barbie! I was okay with it because I had Crystal Barbie.
ReplyDeleteI think your dad and my dad must have been a lot alike. What a "sweet" story.
Now I've been to ebay. You can totally get both of them. Crystal is much cheaper though. I'm thinking Hannah is going to need a Crystal Barbie. :)If I had the money, I'd send you a Peaches and Cream.
ReplyDeletehaha thanks Becky!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, I think our dads were quite similar.
What a beautiful memory of your dad. He had such a warm and generous heart and this story is a great example.
ReplyDeleteI remember that Barbie (and fun times we had playing). I thought she was beautiful:)
