Are You My Mother was an epic childhood story and bedtime favorite. The baby bird travels all over and sees all kinds of cool thing before finally being deposited back in his nest where he is reunited with his mother.

Tetherball was the most epic of all playground games! Sure, the tall kids always had a bit of an advantage, but that only provided the shorter kids with incentives to learn different tactics and make up home-court rules that would even out the playing field. For instance, our court had home-court rules about ropesies and when they were appropriate, open hand versus fist hitting, high angle shots, and touching the pole. What were your home-court rules?

Who could forget the naked floaty pens that it seems everyone’s Dad owned at one point or another. We’d sneak them so we could see the lady’s dress come off and have a laugh.

Not only was Horton Hatches The Egg yet another epic Seuss story, many of us also remember the epic Merry Melodies adaptation. This was one of our favorite stories, since it’s so silly. Everyone knows that elephants can’t climb trees and if they could, Horton would have crushed that egg once he got up there.

It’s a shame that the Fisher Price Record Player isn’t still in production, so it could teach the kids of today an appreciation for records. We remember putting a record on just like our parents and dancing to the music, although the nursery rhymes were much harder to dance to. It was still fun to pretend we were our parents.
