Barbie Girl

I'm back with another post!  Before I share the story, I'd like to thank my co-workers for sharing their stories with me.  The story I'm sharing with you today belongs to one of them.  Love you guys! You're the BEST!

Today I introduce you to Barbie.  I had the pleasure of working with Barbie last year.  Barbie is very special.  She's not a Nicki Minaj or Lil Kim wanna-be.  She's the sweetest little girl you would ever meet.  However when you meet or talk to her, you always walk away saying, "What in the world?!?!?!"  I have a few "Barbie anecdotes" to share with you today.  I hope you enjoy.

Where should I begin???  I'll begin with Barbie's invention of Ugg Sneakers.  The other day Barbie goes to class and asks her teacher for some string.  The teacher asks why and Barbie proceeds to explain her story of woe.  It is gym day and she's wearing Ugg boots.  The gym teacher won't allow her to participate in gym because she's not wearing sneakers.  She figures she can get some string and tie her Ugg boots up with the string (mind you the boots don't have holes for laces).  That way, the gym teacher will think she has sneakers on.  Her teacher says, "Well...how are you going to get the string to stay on the boots?"  Barbie's response is, "I was going to glue the string on my boots."

This little girl is unbelievable.  My Barbie story doesn't end here though.  There's more.  Hope you can handle it.

Our second story about Barbie is another doozy.  Her teacher assigns homework.  The next day, Barbie comes to school with the homework incomplete.  She tells her teacher that she didn't know what the homework assignment was so she decided to do something else.  The teacher says, "Who are you to change the homework assignment?"  Barbie says, "I'm Barbie!"  Have you had enough of the Barbie stories?  Do you want more?  I have one more story for you.

Picture this...Halloween 2009.  Our school has a "Character Day" celebration and the children were supposed to come to school dressed as a character from a book.  Barbie decided to dress as a unicorn.  Sounds like a cute idea, doesn't it?  It was cute.  However, I want you to picture a fourth grader dressed in a full body unicorn costume.  Hooves and everything...She even had a hood with a huge horn protruding from the head.  To make matters worse she wore the costume all day long!  Did I mention it was quite warm that day?

You may be thinking this girl is joking around.  Nooooo...she is serious!  Barbie is our special girl and you gotta love her!  I know when you read some of my posts, you're wondering if I am making this stuff up.  I can't make this stuff up.  All my material is real life!
