    I used to wet toilet paper and tissues and place them over the faces on my dolls, and then they would dry and harden and I could make masks. My mother expressed that this is not how we should play with dolls.

    I got a 2 liter pepsi bottle and filled it with a bunch of crazy shit to try and make a potion. Things like toothpaste and ketchup and a bunch of other horrible stuff. Seeing it coagulate inside like some sort of homunculus made me think I was really onto something

    No, I don’t remember a single instance of play pretending to be a bride. I do remember several of play pretending to be a Dad though. For the record - I’m still a straight woman, always been. I don’t know what lady in pink is going on about.

    I made scrambled eggs out of sticks and leaves, and I used the camcorder to make stop-motion videos of my toy cars

    Can relate but I made potions in the bath. With various colors of shampoo. In actual glass test tubes and such from the science supply store (probably not wise @my parents but all the little glass bottles were adorable).

      Holy shit you just reminded me of my childhood.
      I remember mixing all the things I could find in the bathroom because I thought it would make your hair grow faster and might be the secret to immortality, because none of the scientists would have considered mixing dove and palmolive together.

        Completely plausible! Have you aged since? Or stopped aging at 27?

        Edit: If not maybe you needed to add a few drops of purple eyeglass-cleaner sample.

          I have aged since but I’m not quite 27 yet, so maybe it worked?
          I’ll try adding that eyeglass cleaner and let you know how it’s going when I’m 40.
