<p>[QUOTE="Christmasjoy, post: 291550, member: 164"]I remember about 20yrs ago .. I was at a flea market and spotted a ratty old box on one of the tables with OLD DOLL hand written on it. I asked the woman if I could look inside and she VERY carefully opened the box, all the while saying "this belonged to my grandmother, and my great-grandmother before that, I wasn't even allowed to play with it, just look" .. and then the precious "antique" doll made it's appearance !! I told her that the doll was made in the 1970's. made in Japan, and mass produced .. She grabbed it from my hands and said loudly F-OFF !! and roughly jammed the doll back in the box, I smiled and walked away. The lies that flow from some peoples mouths so easily never fails to amaze me .. Joy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
