Did you know there was such a thing as a Boy Dolly? There is, as you’ll see below. Didn’t have much growing up in the Monroe house. You wanted a toy? Go grab a fork. There you go. Play some music with that there fork by hitting a brick. You wanted a dolly? Here, take a clump of hair out of this brush. There you go. There’s a dolly. Give it a name, go have a tea party. You want to build a fort? Get in that trash can. Pretend you got a retractable roof like Cowboys Stadium (3-8) by taking the lid off. Now we had no choice but to reach out to this mother looking for a “boy dolly” for her son. Their ad and emails are in black, and Doug types it up in blue. Welcome back, May the F be with you ™

Boy Doll for 5 year old

---

Hi,

We have a couple of dolls that our son Richard grew out of. We could sell you all 3 for $15 or you can buy 1 for $6.

You may have already found your dolls, but if not, let me know.

Thanks,

Doug

From Janet:

I would love that…I live in ****** by the zoo, where do you live? I could meet most anywhere.

thank you.

My son really wants a boy doll for Christmas…I will probably just get them all once I see them.

thanks

From Doug:

Oh that is FUNNY, we live in Burnsville. My wife Debbie and I had the hardest time taking the dolls away from Richard when he got older. Not to pry, but you probably should have a plan in place to extract the dolls from his every day life, and put something in their place, like a baseball mitt, a soccer ball, or an air rifle. What kind of boy doll is he looking for?

I could probably send you some pictures of the dolls if you’d like.

Thanks!

Doug, Debbie, and Richard

From Janet:

I would love to see pictures of the dolls. All I know is my daughter has a doll and one night he said how come She gets a doll and I dont have a boy doll, and he just loves pretend play and I thought why doesnt he have a boy doll, he would probably play with them more than my daughter plays with hers….We would give it/them to him for Christmas if they are in ok shape.

Would appreciate pictures and thank you.

From Doug:

Well THAT is funny. Our son Richard started out the same way. His sister Jodi had some dolls and my wife and I would give him manly things to play with, like pellet guns, hockey equipment, a raccoon trap, etc., and he just kept stomping his feet and demanding that we get him some dollies. “I want a dolly! I want a dolly!”, so, you know, I went out a bought a bunch of boy dollies to get him to stfu, but I have to say, they were hard to find. I brought back some GI Joe’s and, you know, He-Mans and shit, but he wanted a boy doll that he could dress, comb the hair, and get ready for church. He’d bring that little sob with him to church, whispering to it the whole time “Sebastian…we need to be quiet now while the man in the silly robe talks…we’ll stand up every 5 minutes, then sit down, and we’ll sing some songs that have no relevance whatsoever to society today. Then we’ll subject ourselves to dangerous bacteria by shaking everyone hands and dipping our fingers into the eucharist dish.” Anyway, I could go on, but you get the picture, he’s a germaphobe. I’ll take some pictures of his dollies tonight. To be honest, I just want them out of here, so I’ll just give you all 3 for $10.
Thanks again,
Doug

From Doug:

Well that’s too bad. If you change your mind, I’ve attached a couple of pictures. Picture 1 is Tomas, and he’s a latin dolly who played the jockey in Richard’s make-believe equestrian events. Picture 2 is of Sebastian, Patrick, Emilio and Roger (from left to right) and while I’d like to think they would grow up to become lumberjacks as the background suggests, Richard would end every birthday wish with “and the 5 of us will live happily ever after, in a condo in Key West.”
They’re all yours if you want, or, certainly feel free to tell anyone else that’s looking for boy dolls.
Thanks,
Doug
