Welcome back to the Doll House Play series, where the drama is never-ending, the outfits are questionable, and the routines are—well, let’s just say, nobody’s getting a gold star for efficiency. If you thought the morning routine was chaotic, just wait until you see what happens when Barbie and Ken (and all the other dolls) try to get through their afternoon routine. Spoiler alert: it’s a mess, and it’s hilarious.

If you missed Part 1, don’t worry. You didn’t miss much—just a lot of cereal spills, wardrobe crises, and hair disasters. But let’s jump right into the afternoon, where things get even crazier.

Step 1: The Midday Nap (Or Not)

By the time the clock strikes noon in the Doll House, everyone is exhausted. After all, Barbie had a very intense morning of choosing outfits, pretending to drink coffee, and managing to get her hair into some kind of “don’t-ask-what-this-is” look. It’s time for a nap, right?

Well, not so fast. Barbie, being the high-maintenance diva she is, insists on “just one more” outfit change before she settles down for a nap. She decides that the mid-afternoon slumber is the perfect time to wear her “casual chic” look—a sparkly tutu skirt and a sparkly top. That’s right. Nothing says “nap time” like an outfit that glitters more than a disco ball.

Ken, naturally, is already napping on the couch. But not because he’s tired, oh no. He’s pretending to nap so that Barbie will ask him to do something for her. Ken knows that if he pretends to sleep long enough, Barbie will ask him to fetch her snacks. Clever guy.

Unfortunately, Barbie doesn’t buy it and drags him into the “Living Room of Disasters” to discuss the latest fashion trends (which, by the way, are apparently all about sequins and faux fur).

Step 2: The Snack Search

No afternoon is complete without a snack break, and Barbie is all about the snacks. After all, what’s an afternoon nap if there’s no pizza, cookies, or some weird concoction of chocolate and marshmallows? Barbie heads to her very tiny kitchen to prepare a snack, which—surprise, surprise—is impossible because Barbie is not actually capable of cooking.

She reaches for a “mini-pizza” from the fridge, but wait—Ken has already eaten it. How does he do it? Is there some kind of Ken magic where food just disappears?

Barbie gives him the classic “Ken, why did you eat all my food?” look, but Ken is unfazed. He’s too busy posing in front of the mirror, pretending he’s in a photo shoot. Typical Ken.

So, Barbie decides to take matters into her own hands and pretends to make a sandwich with some fake lettuce and an invisible slice of tomato. But honestly, it doesn’t matter because at least it looks like a snack, and that’s all that counts in the doll world.

Step 3: Afternoon “Chores” (Ha!)

Okay, so Barbie and Ken’s idea of chores is… well, let’s say, a little unconventional. Barbie pulls out a tiny broom and starts sweeping. You’d think she’d be really good at it, given her immaculate wardrobe choices, but nope. Barbie has zero sense of direction when it comes to cleaning. She sweeps everything into the corner, and I mean everything—dolls, furniture, tiny shoes—and wonders why the floor is still a mess.

Ken, of course, pretends to help by pushing a mini vacuum around, but let’s be honest—he’s just using it as a prop to look like he’s contributing. He takes a quick “vacuuming break” to adjust his hair in the reflection of the toaster. Yep, that’s how Ken does chores.

Meanwhile, the rest of the dolls (yes, there are more dolls now) have decided to start a mini fashion show in the living room. They’re all strutting around in different outfits, testing out poses and trying to look as fabulous as possible. Naturally, this causes more chaos than actual cleaning, but hey, that’s the Doll House for you. You’ve gotta have your priorities straight.

Step 4: Afternoon “Activities” (AKA Doll House Shenanigans)

At this point in the afternoon, it’s clear that nobody in the Doll House is really accomplishing anything. Barbie and Ken are pretending to clean, the dolls are having a mini fashion show, and no one has any idea what they’re doing.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t activities. Barbie decides that it’s time for a game of “Guess the Missing Shoe”—which is exactly what it sounds like. One doll loses a shoe, and the others have to find it in the vast wilderness of the dollhouse. This sounds easy, but trust me, with dolls and accessories scattered everywhere, it becomes a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek.

After hours of intense searching, Barbie finally finds the shoe… only to realize it’s the wrong shoe and doesn’t even belong to the doll who lost it. Whoops. But in true Barbie fashion, she just shrugs it off and calls it “character building.”

Step 5: The Final Showdown – Who’s the Best at Napping?

As the afternoon winds down, Barbie, Ken, and the rest of the crew start to feel a little tired (or maybe they’re just exhausted from all the pretend cleaning and searching for lost shoes). But there’s one final contest to settle before they call it a day: Who’s the best at napping?

Ken, obviously, is way ahead in this category. He’s been pretending to nap all day, and now it’s time to officially crown him the “Nap King of the Doll House.” Barbie’s having none of it, though. She argues that the true queen of naps is her, because who else could nap in six-inch heels and a glittery tutu?

It’s a battle for the ages, but in the end, everyone agrees that napping is overrated. The dolls all gather on the couch for a “group nap” that lasts all of five minutes before someone (probably Ken) starts snoring.

Conclusion: The Afternoon Routine – A Hot Mess, But We Love It

And there you have it, folks—Part 2 of the Doll House Play series: the Afternoon Routine. From snack mishaps and cleaning chaos to a showdown of who’s the best napper, the Doll House never disappoints.

Will Barbie and Ken ever get their act together? Will they manage to finish a single task without chaos ensuing? Stay tuned for Part 3, where we dive into the evening routine (and probably more napping). In the meantime, remember: life is short, so why not take a nap in a glittery tutu and call it “self-care”?
