And my Barbie had a side thing going with the dad from the Happy Family.

The Happy Family? Hmmm. I'm not familiar with that. In my hippie household, I was not permitted to have Barbie dolls. I could have Skipper and Dawn dolls (did anyone else have Dawn dolls? None of my friends did -- I have no idea where my mother got them -- perhaps she had a factory in the basement...), and of course the Sunshine Family (for whom you had to make clothes and home furnishings from the scraps of fabric your hippie mother had lying around the house.)
Other hippie rules of my household: no plastic sandwich bags (waxed paper only -- I was the ONLY kid in school without plastic sandwich bags) and no paper lunch bags (environmentally friendly lunch boxes only), no watching The Flinstones (my mother felt it was demeaning to women), no Wonder Bread (again -- the ONLY kid...), no Skippy/Jif/National Brand peanut butter -- only the organic kind (where the hell my mother found this stuff in the 70's, I can't imagine).
