[Magdalen] And Did These Feet in Ancient (50 years) Times

[Jo Craddock]

I loved a set of trucks originally given to my next-eldest brother, who 
rarely/never played with them. There were two cabs, and three trailers: 
a box trailer, a car carrier, and an agriculture/cattle trailer. They 
were so large that, as a five or six-year-old I could sit on the cab 
with my hands on the engine compartment and "paddle" down the sidewalk 
with my feet.

I had two Barbies. I think one was also "inherited," as I have no 
recollection of where she came from. Not an original, as she was a 
brunette, but an early unbendable model. I received another, blond and 
bendable, as a gift sometime.

The Barbies fit perfectly in the cabs, and I enjoyed having drivers in 
them, once I was too big to ride on them, anymore. Barbie liked to drive 
big rigs, too. Usually naked.

Peace,
Jo
