I sure hope there is lots of love out there for lego! Can you tell it’s popular in my household?

1. As most of my toy playing childhood was in the 70s … why was this so hard? Everything I thought of was actually a 50s or 60s toy or an early 80s toy. Of course I am the youngest in the family, so maybe it was just the hand-me-down effect.
2. “Slinky, Slinky, It’s fun for a girl or a boy”

Curse you, Zhu Zhu Pets!  
I briefly considered them for #1, but I wondered if that fad wasn’t already played out. Then I remembered being at a party last Christmas where there were about a dozen kids, each playing the whole time with his or her own personal Nintendo DS and barely interacting with one another at all. So I figured, that’s gotta be the most popular toy, right? Right?

Number 6 needs a song:

A kid was pegged… in the head… with a lawn dart. (Lawn dart!)  
Her Dad didn’t see her, and that’s the worst part!
