Cabbage Patch Kids comeback
The Cabbage Patch Kids of 1983 will make a comeback this year. Click here for the full story in today's Sun-Sentinel.
You either love or hate these dolls. I never wanted one. The Kids had smooshed faces, and I hated cabbage. So I stuck to my trunk full of Barbie and Ken dolls. But I remember some friends loved them.
Here's what some readers had to say about their cherished Cabbage Patch memories:
"I loved those dolls, but my father used to tell me that when I went to sleep at night, they would come alive and have a party. I didn’t sleep much from 1983-1989." -- Lori, Miami
"I was an only child growing up, so my parents spoiled me with THIRTEEN Cabbage Patch kids. I used to sit them up and pretend I was their teacher." -- Leila, Miami
"I am an identical twin and my sister lives in Boca Raton. We are 61 years old. When we celebrated our 40th birthdays together in 1986, our children presented us with Cabbage Patch Twins. Each year when we celebrate our birthdays together we bring along our Cabbage Patch dolls and re-unite them. We have some pictures taken over the years commemorating each birthday. After we pass on, these twin dolls will someday go to my daughter as well as my sister's daughter who have vowed to re-unite them each year on our birthday."
-- Sharon Gorsen, Weston
