There was a girl named Barbara in my 4th and 5th grade classes.
   She is one of the few people I know that shared my birthday. She
   also developed early and had blond hair. Took many years to
   remove a strong internal hatred towards the whole Barbie
   franchise. I suspect it was similar for her, but don't know: We
   seemed to have a mutual understanding to NEVER speak to the
   other. Ever.
