More dirt about yourself:
You could say Barbie was born to be a brawler. Born into a long-line of scrappers, she got her first taste of pain when her sister pinned her down and poured vinegar into her nose. That same day, her brother stole her baby buggy and mowed her down with it. Barbie soon realized that if she didn’t fight back, she didn’t stand a chance to make it to puberty.

She began honing her patience by hiding in the hall closet for hours. Waiting, listening, plotting and scheming. When her sister happened to pass by and the moment was right, she burst from the closet, beating the little brat with a muddy moon boot. Needless to say, to this day, the poor girl has a fear of storage closets and winter footwear.

Barbie’s mother, Mrs. Brawl soon grew tired of her children attacking each other every chance they got. She instated the “anything goes, as long as it’s outside” rule. This new family rule lasted for approximately 12 minutes, and ended in an unexpected trip to the Emergency Room, after Barbie dragged her baby brother out into the driveway and began smashing and bashing his head into the driveway. His teeth suffered the brunt of the damage; he had to sleep in headgear until he was 24.
