Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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!
Old-style Fisher Price, but in the plastic era. I think it was the green white dude with a bald head.
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.
something with dragons
The castle. It was, to no surprise, my all time favorite.
looks around
I still have it at my grandma's. She had to go buy a new one when my siblings and cousins were born cause I wouldn't let anyone play with mine.
We have a bunch of old skool Little People for Franny. I hope neither she nor her brother try to eat them.
We had (and still have) the house, the farm, the garage, and possibly one other that I'm not remembering right now. The farm still says "moo" when you open the door. The house was my very favorite.
Yay for the rescued Little Person!
I had the Sesame Street one, too. There was an African American woman in purple with that set. In concur that Mr. Hooper was in green and white, and Gordon in Orange.
This is going to distress Liese, but in the closets of my childhood home, we'd often tie little people to light cords in closets and such so you wouldn't be groping in the dark for a flimsy bit of string. They really make an ideal pull .
