Holy crap! I'd forgotten about that place!

 

I'm big into old toys and all about Fisher Price (because the history is such that pretty much everyone you know has had the stuff going back for several generations). As proof of my love, I present you with this awkwardly posed photo of my bitchin' Little People tattoos (it's hard to see in the photo, but the boy has a halo and the girl has horns):

Is it possible to feel nostalgic for a time you didn't live in?
It totally is. I'm nostalgic for everyone's childhood. Even my Dad's who when I asked him what kinds of toys he played with as a kid, replied, "We used to use thread and a spool to make a yo yo and other times we would just runs spools back and forth across a string," and he wasn't joking. :blink
