The Toy You Really Wanted and Then...
So all the Christmas ads are coming out and I saw an Etch-a-Sketch in one and I remembered how much I wanted one as a child. In the TV ads the kids were drawing wonderful things with them but in real life (unless something has changed in the past few years), you can't make a curve with one! I was heartbroken to realize that I was confined to straight lines and I'll always wonder how they faked those pictures back in the day.
BTW, the kids in TV toy commercials--then as now--appear to be having just too, too much fun with their toys.
