The only doll I remember having as a kid was my Raggedy Ann doll. My grandmother gave us each a doll when we were sick with the mumps. My brother got a GI Joe, and my sisters and I got Raggedy Ann dolls. My mother would put us all together in the same room when one of us came down with any kind of childhood disease, so that we would all get it at the same time. Can you imagine dealing with 5 kids with the mumps at the same time? Was she insane? She did the same thing when we had the chicken pox! She was nuts!
