Made of Plastic

Growing up my sisters and I played with Playmobil basically 24/7. If you don't know what they are you're totally missing out. I definitely am a supporter of handmade and wooden toys, but my favorite plastic toy ever were Playmobil dolls (they're like bigger Legos).

We found out one day that you can actually pop the hair off of their heads, which enabled us to change hair colors and styles with the girls (the guys were too boring to do anything with). We had fun switching the maid in the black dress from a brunette to a blond and the beautiful princesses from blonds to brunettes. Short bobs to long braids, etc. Since my hair dying escapade I've constantly found myself passing a window or mirror and doing a double-take and exclaiming "Oh my gosh I have brown hair!" Causing more exclamations from friends of "We know!!!" So the other day I sauntered into the bathroom and had the strangest sensation ever: I felt like a Playmobil doll!!! I felt like someone had taken the cap of my hair off and switched it with some other brunette. I didn't just remember that memory of us nibbling off the heads and leaving teeth marks in the plastic, nope I actually felt like I had a wig on or something and I thought of the plastic dolls. Seriously, it was weird.
