Headless Barbie

Headless Barbie, the Hallowe'en Witch
I wonder when the first Barbie was beheaded. I KNOW who did the deed, a little brother.  Younger siblings have been destroying precious objects since the beginning of time.  Retribution is seldom as swift or severe as the indignant older child would like. 

As Hallowe'en approaches,  I realize that all is not lost.  And so, I present a headless Barbie, Hallowe'en Witch Barbie.  Curse them, Barbie!  Cast an evil spell and break all the toys of every little brother or sister who broke my stuff on purpose!

Oops, did I say that out loud?
