I didn't see "A Girl's First Vibrator" listed. That was all the rage about '72.

I didn't have speak and spell but, I had the professor. It was a little calculator shaped like an owl it asked you math questions. I remember taking a unit in math where we got to use the schools brand new calculators. Now every house has several~they even are built into cell phones.

My kids are excited when the school gets new computer.

Even those of us born after the '70s know all about naked Twister.

I loved weebles! I was such a puggy little thing that my mom called me her little weeble. My legs were so cubby I had to woddle to walk.

And I had all the strawberry shortcake stuff there was! Still had Perpermint Patty until about 2 years ago. Though the peperment smell had long since faded.

And http://tv.cream.org/extras/toys/images/rainbow.jpg I had all the episodes and movies! Loved rainbow bright!

I remember a lot of these toys!

Rainbow Brite!!! I'm still a bit obsessed. I still have a nice little Sprite stuffed animal on my bed. I nurture it. I also have a few of the episodes I "somehow got" from the new dolls they sell in Wal-Mart. No, I'm not a clepto. Promise.

Just in case none of you knew, My Little Pony, eventually joined a hair metal band in the '80s:

Actually, this is the result of Daddy Deviant working for 20 or 30 minutes just the other day to unsnarl Butterfly's mane and tail.

Aw, poor Butterfly.

Aw, poor Butterfly.

We were having a hair emergency for a few minutes but she's much better now.

I still raise sea monkeys (brine shrimp). My fish love them for a nice snack.

You know the Whos, invented by Dr. Seuss? I think he copied their appearance from the sea monkeys as they were portrayed in comic books.

God. That's right, Box! Dammit. A revelation.


I am amazed the skills one is supposed to have, deev, by virtue of being a dad.

One of the best places I worked was a hundred six year old fire station in a poor neighborhood, State Street. Kids were coming by all the time once they found out i would listen to them and respond with respect and candor.

They found out, by asking, that I was a dad. Next thing you know, I was releasing Barbie heads from the spokes and hubs of bicycles, straightening axles on toy cars. They knew i could do these things because dads can do these things. Dad skills. Screwing things up onto the walls, like sheves and hangers, fixing broken things. It comes with the turf. I am not surprised you had to disentangle the hair of a Pony.

Good that the kids had someone to go to, to many kids now don't. Kudos to you for that.

I have 2 daughters, I better get used to it.

Cant, I have an easy bake oven if you want it. It takes up too much space in our tiny little base house.

Man. Do you really? I'm serious. I don't exactly know why I'm serious, but I am. Erika says she isn't ever going to have children, so there I am, making this grampie closet for nothing. But still. Daughters are the best. It follows that whatever gratifies grandaughters will be almost as good. If you do mean it, I will certainly take the Easy-Bake. Wow.

Well, let me find out how much shipping will be and I will send it your way. We are fixing to move, so I will pack it up this weekend.
