I didn’t read through the whole post but were click clacks mentioned? We walked around the yard at recess with them and it was so noisy that the principal had to ban them.

My sister won a cassette by Mostly Music for getting the answer right. I think it was a halacha question?

I did, does that prove that I spent too much time on the computer even before imamother?!
Granted I didn't win Oregon Trail very much but I definitely saw Oregon at least once. Thinking back it's actually mystifying that they made a game THAT hard to win. Or rather, that unlikely to win, because it was usually just bad luck that did you in. Was Yukon Trail on the same game or was it just a different spinoff? I liked that one too. Where you had to stop at the saloon and shoot bottles to get money?
There's a website where you can play all the retro games, by the way. Thankfully, I forgot what it was.

WHY?! Just WHY would that bother your school?!!! We spent years of our childhood trying to get on. One second past 9 and no matter how long you had been sitting on hold it was "gei shluffen."

Yknow this might deserve a spinoff. I was trying to figure out what it is about these things. I definitely knew all the classic fairy tales when I was a kid. It still seems sort of expected that people will have some familiarity with them. Yet my own kids, I like to have them somewhat cultured and educated, and yet I have never had the slightest desire to read them any of these classics. There are just so many fine books and stories for young children and frankly all the wolf and bear and witch stuff is scary. I think my mother has a cartoonish anthology that covers the basics so lucky for them (maybe?) my kids are going into the world adequately equipped (for what?) but I'm not sure why and how everyone else is supposed to get this education. But then there are all kinds of cute spinoffs and allusions you could never understand without that background... The Jolly Postman was one of my favorite books but it's a waste of time on most yeshiva kids. The one story I did find occasion to share at a fine early age was The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Very practical. I'm not sure Jack and the Beanstalk is quite as helpful.

Yes! I was in love with Furbies.
Also, remember when it was a thing to braid colored string in your hair? Like I had one strip of hair that was covered in a specially knotted design. Don’t know how else to describe it.

Speaking of Keds- remember when the laces got replaced with the curly laces that you didn't even have to tie? Boy were those kids cool!
