Happy Birthday!





In Little Matilda's world, she wishes that every day is her birthday.  She is surrounded by bright floating balloons and all of her friends.  Sitting next to her is Teddy, the teddy bear and across the table is Tux the Penguin. This plate helps her remember the good times.  The times before mommy and daddy sent her off to the psychiatric ward.  The good times when she was allowed to talk for hours with her bunny, Hopster.  Now those times are no more.  As she sits in her white washed room, staring at the walls, she's no longer allowed to have any stuffed animals and when she speaks to her invisible friends, they don't have the same reaction that her good friends had before medication.  This is why Franklin Mint has come out with a special edition plate to honor Matilda's memory.  Let's make every day her birthday and drift away from reality...like Matilida would want.
