Oh. God bless you, Stitchy. I had the fashion plates, and the farmhouse, so I know from whence you come. My brothers had the Tonka trucks, and they’re probably still entact, buried in the backyard of the house we grew up in.

But what got me was the Baby Alive. Really, who hasn’t made a doll with even a partially opened mouth rot from the inside because of real food feedings?

Classic.

OMG.. I had an Alphie. I loved that thing. And my sister had those fashion plate things. How funny.

Oh man that makes me feel old. I had a Barbie fashion head, a Pong(? don’t know if that was the name) handheld game, I had a stretchy octopus and I had the fashion plates. Man talk about a walk down memory lane. Ugh.

oh how this brought back memories, I stlil have a metal tonka dump truck in my basement.

When I was an infant back in 1974, my brother and sister used to stuff me in the back of a tonka dump truck and push me into the refrigerator. The refrigerator never looked the same after the many dents we inflicted.

The top of the silo on the Fisher Price Farm comes off. My daughter stuck her foot in there and we had a heck of a time getting it out. She hates farms.

Must. Have. Adult. Sized. Sit ‘n’ Spin.

I cannot believe it cost a measley $11.88 and my parents didn’t get me one. I’m calling my mother.

I am, indeed, compelled to sing the same five songs over and over…and all this time I never knew where the urges came from…thank you, Stitchy!

I wonder if I could convince my mother to dig up my old fashion plates…I had a set, and my family never throws anything away, so they must be around somewhere….

I’ll take the Easy Bake oven if you don’t mind Stitchy. I had one as a child, but it never worked because my parents had cut the cord out. Not because they were afraid of me (they claim), but because they had bought it at a second hand store and weren’t sure about the wiring. Yeah right. Serves them right though. I never learned to cook! Bwahahahahaha!

(Maybe I shouldn’t be so proud of that…..hmmm)
