"Check it out, Mom! I made something called a Shrinky Dink at camp today."
"Cool. I didn't know those were still around."
"Yeah. You draw on this plastic and then you put it in the oven and it gets all hard."
"I know, they had those when I was a kid too."
"They did?"
"There was a show about a guy named Winky Dink and you would put the plastic over the screen and trace his drawings on the TV."
"Whoa. Did MeeMee's have them when she was a little girl too?"
"No. When MeeMee was a very little girl, they only had radio."
"But then how did you trace pictures on a radio?"
I love that those are still around!

ReplyDeleteVery carefully, Bob.
I have been informed that the TV show (Winky Dink) and the toy (Shrinky Dinks) are not related. Seems like a missed marketing opportunity to me!
