Rtexas, you made me remember a very funny memory. When I was student teaching in college I had to give a presentation for the County Health Department on seat belt safety in a preschool. While I was waiting for the session to start the teacher asked me to help supervise playtime.
Someone had donated some old toys from the 70's and one of them was a weeble playset. I had not seen a weeble in decades and I had SO much fun with it! I kept knocking it around as I played with the kids and sang that song "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down...". LOL! The kids loved it! And they all reached for a weeble to knock around while they sang that song. The teacher noticed how much fun they were having and came over and said "Oh, thanks a LOT! Now that song will stay in my head forever...and I will hear it forever...and you get to leave! Thanks a lot! LOL!".
I would love to have a weeble for my desk to remind me of how resilient we can be, but they cost a bunch...I looked on ebay. Too bad, they were really cute.
I keep telling daughter that kids today only have wimpy toys, they are so lame! My generation (born in early 60's) had the BEST toys! Plastic + post war technology + electronics = some really cool toys! Too bad they stopped making all of those really fun toys, the kind that you could play with today and would put you in the hospital tomorrow! LOL!
I can see how fisher price stopped making them, LOL, with their weighted bottoms they were some pretty deadly projectiles.
Maybe the kids started throwing the weebles and the teacher had an excuse to put them away, LOL, hopefully for HER sake, LOL. Hmmmmm...I wonder if she would sell them, LOL!
