/giphy bird-day

@Barney I remember Romper Room! And thanks!

@Barney My brother won a dog on Romper Room.

@sammydog01 Miss Fran talked to me in the Magic Mirror AND she sent me a letter.

@Barney You got a letter!!! All I had were those damn Romper Stompers

@Barney I watched for years waiting for them to see me in the magic mirror.

They never did

@mfladd I loved those. We called those puddle jumpers. We were too poor to buy them and made homemade with those large Hi-C cans.

@mfladd
/giphy I’m special

@mfladd @looseneck I don’t remember the Romper Stompers toy, but I do remember my dad going down to the riverbank and cutting down saplings and making all the neighborhood kids stilts to play on.

I guess that can’t be done today, 'cause the first time a kid would fall off one, his/her parent would sue.

The times we live in…

@looseneck Did you ever write in to Romper Room? That’s how they got my name.

@looseneck Yes- Hi-C cans! We did that too. They probably worked better than the plastic ones.

@Barney Many years too late for you to tell me that. If only I had known sooner…
/giphy thought you were my friend

@sammydog01 Also, for some unknown reason except ‘kids’ we would walk home from the movie theater with popcorn buckets on our feet.

@looseneck Haha! If only you had asked me.
/giphy I love you too.

@mfladd For some reason that picture doesn’t want to load so I went with the gif instead.

@MEHcus Thank you!

@mehbee You don’t need us to make you feel special, silly bee. You already are.
