My earliest memory is of getting a brand new Chatty Cathy doll for Christmas. I was fascinated by her ability to speak, and to randomize her lines, so that I could not predict what she would say the next time that I pulled the cord on the back of her neck.
I loved that thing. The last I saw of it, the doll was looking a bit bedraggled and worse for the wear. It disappeared roughly around the time that I got one of the first Barbie dolls as a gift. Next Christmas? Birthday? Can’t remember.
