1983.
A special year for Scraps.
It was Goob’s first Christmas.
Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Craft, worked very hard to provide gifts for their two little crafts. Scraps didn’t remember the last time she had a Christmas, but she was happy she could see her soon to be little brother get one.
Goob was a..special child. He was born premature, was theorized by doctors to not pass the age of 3, could barely speak even now, but most importantly, he wasn’t even a little boy yet. And Scraps wasn’t a little girl yet.
Scraps had always been drawn to “girly” things at the time, like Barbie’s, The Babysitter’s Club, Madonna, and Strawberry Shortcake. She was usually made fun of by the boys in her classroom, and they called her words like “sissy” “pansy” and “soy boy.” She hated all of those words.
But Scraps never cared.
Mrs. Craft spoke up, “Alright, my darlings. It’s time to open up your presents!” Goob definitely got his looks from her, Scraps thought. Their mom looked almost like a spitting image of Goob, except for the cat ears and tail, that was Scraps.
Goob gurgled happily, still non-verbal, as he opened his present. It was a Barbie dreamhouse. Their parents clapped happily as Goob looked in wonder. Scraps was very happy for him, until their dad dropped the news.
“Kiddos,” Mr. Craft said. “That’s for both of you to share, okay? Me and Mommy worked very hard to get you both this.”
Scraps cheered. “Yay yay! My own Barbie dreamhouse!!” Mrs. Craft smiled at her soon to be daughter.
That was a special day.
