STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Today is Strawberry Shortcakes Birthday!! She's 30!!! Hooray SS. Is it just me or did you think Strawberry sHORTCAke was way older than 30?!!? I know I did!! im a child of the80s and I remember my sister hadthe starwberry Shortcake lunchbox.And she is older than me.So as a kid, I think Strawberry shortcake was my sisters age-between 35-40.i never knew she was much younger. When i think if Strawberry Shortcake i think of my sister, because as a kid strawberry shortcake is the first toy I remember.Yeah there were popples, barbies, board games, those great Golden Books, and the Mork and Mindy doll(which I had thank you very much-I had Mork), and the See and Says that had pullable levers,but I truly remember Strawberry Shortcake as the first.My sister had this lunchbox and everyday, she would take her lunchbox to school- even though i don't remember my mom making lunch for her.Anyways bake to Strawberry- so my sister had this lunchbox and I remember she guarded that thing with her life- the lunchbox and the thermos drinkie thingie in the box.The box was made of metal back then.And like, it was my sisters most prized possession.Like we could play hard with toys but with our girl Strawberry, no, she was different.Strawberry was treated very carefully.So as I think about Strawberry Shortcake today, November 9, 2010, I have good memories because Strawberry has always been in a class of her own.Today my sister is a smart independent woman, and I truly believe that she owes her success to Strawberry shortcake. Strawberry Shortcake enabled young girls all over the world to feel empowered and proud of who they were. If Strawberry was a happy girl living in a strawberry, then who were you to say you weren't happy living in a real world? HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!!!
