Is this a hospital, or a store? Whatever it is, it’s filled with Cabbage Patch dolls. Tourists from all over the country come here, to Babyland Hospital, to buy them.

How many Cabbage Patch dolls is too many? It depends on who you ask. Eileen and Bob Cancilla have 2,500. And they’re still coming back for more.

Cabbage Patch Kids got started at Babyland. To collectors, these pudgy-faced toys aren’t “dolls.” They’re “babies.” Collectors don’t “buy” them. They “adopt” them. In some cases, they pay tens of thousands of dollars. Now that’s a serious hobby!
Babyland is an imaginary world come to life. Hospital guests watch while a cabbage patch “gives birth” to a new doll. Employees even wear nurse uniforms.

There’s nothing wrong with a little imagination. It’s a great gift from God, and it makes life a lot more fun! But sometimes people take things a little too far. What do you think? How much Cabbage Patch pretend is too much?
