Cabbage Patch Kids...

...we all had them when we were younger. My sister and I each had a boy and a girl Cabbage Patch Kid, hers had hair and mine were bald because she was the older sister. Our parents wouldn't let us change their names so what was on the birth certificate was their names. I realized the other night that two of our dolls had grown up to be a CSI!

My dolls names were Lottie and Gil. Lottie is a variation of Carol or Caroline. I guess when the company is mass producing dolls and they all have to have different names, they use everything and anything. Gil grew up to be Gil Grissom from the original Vegas CSI...I must have been a great Cabbage Patch mother!


My sister's dolls looked more like this one with hair:


My sister's dolls names were Callie and we can't think of the guy dolls name (we got in this huge argument which ended with us both saying we thought the other one was wrong-love ya bye!). So her's grew up to be Callie Duquesne from CSI: Miami.

Let's hope that our real life children (unborn included since I have none) grow up to be just as successful. So what did your Cabbage Patch Dolls grow up to be or what were their crazy names???

Okay, I'm convinced that one is mine-Cedric. I know he had hair like that and I think he had a jacket too. What a weird phenomenon.

I had a fake one, had extra ridges in it's nose and I have absolutely no idea what her name was!!! To this day I will not eat brussel sprouts because my wonderful older brothers told me they were dead cabbage patch babies!!! Of course they also convinced me that my barbies' hair would grow back ;)
