    So I know the joke with spelling but also, Barbie therapist!? WTF? How does that work as a play toy? The concepts seem like they’d be so confusing and boring for a child. I gather it was to send a “you can be anything when you grow up” message, but it’d be about as exciting as a toy as a Barbie accountant. That’s just weird.

      I saw a therapist as a child. It was super helpful; that’s when I got my ADHD diagnosis.

        Right but I mean, the more classic examples of professions to be made in to doll form tend to more easily liken themselves to simplistic representations that y can convey to children as a toy and have them roughly understand and imagine doing. A doctor, an army guy, maybe a mechanic, a police officer, a scientist they’re all pretty visual, they have uniforms or attire strongly associated with the work itself and plenty of props to package with them for the kid to interact with to emulate doing that job. The therapist kinda wears just whatever and their job primary involves talking so it just doesn’t seem an obvious choice for a doll for children’s entertainment at all.

      How long did it take you to find that or how long have you been holding onto that image? because that is perfect.
