| God, please let it be a cooler pair of pants!! Seriously orange pants ?! I look like a clown. |
 |
| I don't know what it is but it makes a lot of noise and I loved it. |

| I got my foot up on a box and I am jamming with my noise maker thingy. Remember when TVs where that big and had wood trim and VHF & UHF dials? |
Okay, if you are the first one to tell me what the heck this instrument/toy is called I will give them a prize. I do not remember and I am racking my brain trying to figure it out. Please include a link with the answer. (You must be in the US or Canada to participate).
The first two pictures were taken on Christmas day quite a while ago. Apparently this was my favorite gift that year. I'm sure I took great pleasure in playing it as loud as I possibly could to tick my sister off.
Do you remember a favorite gift that you received growing up? What was it and why was it special?
OMGosh I had one of those. music things. awesome. wow - that brought back a ton of memories. awesome post. lmk, if someone remembers the name of it. I just remember it was the only musical instrument I was any "good" at. ;)
ReplyDeleteIs it a keytar? I love the orange pajamas!
ReplyDelete@EMX - Thanks for the compliment. I know I loved that toy. I doubt I was any good at it but I beat I was awesome at using it to annoy my sister.
ReplyDelete@Christi - I do not think so. I think it had a different name. Do you have a link with a picture that calls it that?

I came from that era, so you'd think I could come up with an answer. However, also being from that era means that my memory is terrible these days, so I am useless! I look forward to hearing what it is.
ReplyDeleteGreat tv! I remember ours was in an extra long wood encasement with a record player on the top and it must have had speakers on the side to make it so long. I distinctly remember the smell the day it died.
ReplyDeleteI loved the year I got a little sewing machine that really worked. I also got a little iron and ironing board that really worked. Now that I look back on it, it seems as though my parents were running some kind of sweatshop at our house ;-)
Cute pants! What the heck that instrument is called...no idea whatsoever. Ukelele? (kidding, I know that that's not a ukelele)
ReplyDeleteBest present: an outfit for my Barbie Doll when I was 6 years old. I was so into the outfit that I didn't even pay attention to the expensive globe my grandparent's were trying to give me. Why I was still in their will...is beyond me.
@MissZippy - don't worry my memory is going fast also.
ReplyDelete@Julie - I remember we had that TV FOREVER until god was nice in the late 80 to strike it with lighting. Then we got a TV that had a remote. Fancy stuff. We also had one with a record player in it. A working ironing board and a sewing machine. Sounds like a sweatshop to me. Depending on you age it sounds dangerous. I would have burnt down the house or sewn my fingers together.
@Silly Girl: Ukelele?! Not even close. Why were you so fancied by the Barbi outfit? I can see why you did not like a globe.

Oh geez, as you commented on my post yesterday, this didn't stay in the 92% memory bank!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the orange pants! hehe I wonder if orange pants will ever come back into fashion ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm pretty sure my grandfather still has that tv!
ReplyDeleteLove the orange pants, too!
OMG!! I had that thing too!!! But I think I loved my Holly Hobbie EZ Bake oven a bit more : )
ReplyDeleteWith the power of google it's the Magical Musical Thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywz7vN0GF_Y
ReplyDeleteThis toy looks like it was invented to annoy the hell out of parents. If anyone were to give my 3 year old one now I'd probably beat them with it!
And we have a winner!! Email me your address for the prize.
