It always makes me sad when they show old toys that are like new, because you realize that no child ever got to have fun playing with them.<br /><br />Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-43992933860981007092014-06-17T21:32:33.601+02:002014-06-17T21:32:33.601+02:00I've not heard of this.

My girlfriend Karen's daughter never liked dolls and always asked for science things for Christmas. She is a grad student today and studies, Science! LOL!<br />I wish you could find your doll house and display it. I think it should be yours to do as you please all these years later. I am very sorry for the trauma you suffered. My friend Kozue who was born in Japan was raised very strictly. In fact, last year when school got out for the summer she flew to Japan with her two children. Her mother had enrolled them in the Japanese school! I just don't think children should have to go to school twelve months. I think education is the very best thing, I just think everyone needs to take a break! I am glad you have good memories of the actual doll house.
