Bacon’s Show and Tell
31
Mar
An Etch-A-Sketch. Do you remember them now? Oh my pigs. Mommy got a dreamy look on her face as she reminisced about her memories. One of her favorite things was going line by line only moving inches at a time to the left to make the entire screen blacked out. What a thrill that was when you couldn’t see any part of the screen – snorts – mom was so easily amused for sure. She said that hers got broken because one of her brothers stepped on the glass part. Another toy that had a brief life expectancy but was fun while she had it.

uhoh! the etch-a-sketch monster…. my momma was never able to draw something what looked like the pictures on the instruction sheet… till she used a felt pen to solve that problem….sadly in old days water resistant meant what it said :o)

Snorts! Well that is definitely one way to ‘draw’ a picture. My mom should have thought about that. That might have been the only way she could have done something that someone might have recognized. XOXO – Bacon

I’ve seen this before. Mom says she never had one…neither did her brother. It looked like fun though.

It was fun and aggravating as all get out. Some people can really draw on these things with two dials. Others like my mom couldn’t draw a straight line – snorts and rolls with piggy laughter. XOXO – Bacon

Hilarious! Thanks for the blast from the past! I had one and always did what mom did. OCD work’s for me 😉

The mom loved playing with this toy. And Spirograph (we think that’ s what it was called).

What a great looking toy. My son had one for long trips and I thought of using it for math for my patterns but settles on a small blackboard instead. I guess I am still playing with toys! LOL!

Playing with toys keeps us young at heart Auntie Sharon. Just ask dad. He acts 5 – snorts and rolls with piggy laughter. XOXO – Bacon
