Old-style Fisher Price, but in the plastic era. I think it was the green white dude with a bald head. Like the dad here [link]

We still have those Little People. Oh, how I loved them.

Oh, how I loved them.

Oh yeah. I just don't like the new kind much. Blahblahchokinghazard, whatever.

There used to be parties at this one artist's house. She had so many of the playsets, it was awesome. Sesame Street house, haunted house, something with dragons, airports, garages, the a frame house, circus, farm, school...

The Little People were awesome. Although not to eat, I do not know about that.

But (whitefonted for disturbingly funny Fisher Price Little People story)once we went to clean out a barn owned by the local radio station so we could have a concert in there (the band went on to become quite big in the Christian world, which I think is funny.) and there, hanging from the light rope (it was one of those bare bulbs with the little thread hanging down from it, you know.) was a Little Person. Hanging by the neck. 'Cause, you know, no other place on their bodies to hang from. I got all upset (but not so upset that I would reveal my upsetness to the other teenagers there, of course, cause that's how I roll) and discreetly rescued it. And took it home. It sat on my desk for years. Didn't seem the worse for its attempted execution. Hee.

I still miss my Little People schoolhouse with the drop-down chalkboard, and the littel plastic carousel for recess.

We had a combination of plastic and wooden-bottomed Little People, unless my memory is faulty.

Aw! You saved him!

haunted house, something with dragons

Oooh! I remember the airport and the garage, but not those.

Our own Nutty both stuffed a peanut up her nose (at 3, on a dare from a neighbor boy)

And my mother called up my father (a doctor) and he said, "Oh, eventually it'll fall out." I had no idea people actually had to get their nostril-stuck items removed professionally!

No, no, we had the Sesame Street set. The green white dude with the bald head was Mr. Hooper. The dude stuck in my mouth? Gordon.

Ooh! We definitely had that schoolhouse. I remember that carousel. My own schoolhouse did not have a carousel, it turned out. I felt it was lacking and I was promised a carousel.

We had the schoolhouse too - I thought the wall/chalkboard was awesome! We also had the farm, which I was vaguely annoyed with for pertetuating the myth that "all farms have pigs and horses in addition to cows." But my fave was the gas station, with the elevator and the ramps for cars to drive down.

We had the farm.

I think we had Little People actually made out of wood. But I could be misremembering.

Gordon.

Gordon had an orange body.
