I have a Cabbage Patch Kid.
No, I didn’t just go buy one. Yes, my daughter has one already, but that’s not what I’m writing about…
BabyCenter.com just told me in my weekly update about my wife’s pregnancy, that my son is the weight of a cabbage (3 lbs).
This got me thinking about Cabbage Patch Kids. Here is one toy that has continued to stay popular over the years. At least I think they are still popular, right? Do your kids have one?
I just went to www.CabbagePatchKids.com to see what they are all about. There is a story in there about a boy named Xavier who was following a bee around near a waterfall, where he stumbled upon a cave. Inside that cave were hundreds of babies and young children living amongst cabbage leaves. One kid spoke up, saying how they all were in need of adoption, and so the idea of Cabbage Patch Kids was born.
The whole story is interesting, and a little bit creepy. Imagine going for a walk, and then stumbling upon many kids living inside of cabbage, up for adoption? Adoption is incredible, but living in cabbage is just, plain weird. Cabbages are meant to be eaten, shredded using cabbage shredders on CookingPlanIt and mixing it in a bowl of salad.
Anyway, back to the point…my son is now the size of a cabbage.
BabyCenter also told me that Tommy Boy is surrounded by over a pint of amniotic fluid now. After reading the strange Cabbage Patch Kids story, I could go for a pint.
Uh oh…the rest of the BabyCenter update is about Kegel exercises. Awkward. Not something that men talk about normally…but stay tuned…tomorrow I’m going to write about how I tried my first kegel…
