Averill, that is so disturbed! Did your brother ever try to put you in a wheeled toy and push it down the hill? Why were you so hostile toward your doll? What kind was she? Did she survive the truck? You realize it's your cheering that's disturbing. I had a Betsy Wetsy that smelled really, really bad because I put milk in her bottle instead of water and it didn't agree with her little rubber intestines. We could have sacrificed her on your hill and my mother would have cheered.

Averill ~ "Comments??" ~ My niece and nephew would make pipe-cleaner figurines, and smash and mash them together. I first just saw the figures, and thought they were pretty amazing 3D synopses(?). I asked if I could have some, of course, being a possessive and static adult. They said sure, when we're done crashing them together. Whereupon they would crash and loudly mangle, flatten and disturb. And then re-inflate, re-figure, the figures. To their invisible pipe-cleaner guidelines; and to my aghast relief. The part your recollection reminded me of, was that one of the figures they repeatedly crashed, (amongst others of course, no discrimination here ~ but what about motive?) ~ one of the oft crashed figures, was a person in a wheelchair. The wheelchair had little Conestoga-wagon pipe-cleaner wheels, stickly-spoke wheels, ~ and an insertable figure ~ mowed over repeatedly by other figures who also crumpled and distorted. They intersected, on extremely noisy vectors; arms-length, pinpoint, screaming mashumples. And then re-formed. Re-formed in the general aftermath; in a "different" phase. Another phase; carried out un-supervised. (I was out of my league.) Well. (I just report the stuff.) (Any resemblance to my relatives is coincidental, or incidental, or something like that.)
