A Trip Back to Childhood

It seems like everything goes through a cycle. I've even noticed that toys do that. Several of my favorite toys as a child have come back for the girls' generation. Oh, the hours I spent on my Big Wheel... The girls each have one at Meme's (got them last summer) that they learned to enjoy as well. There was nothing better than that tick-tick-tick sound it made as I rode! I also had a Strawberry Shortcake doll that blew strawberry-scented air when you squeezed her stomach. Strangely enough, that's a toy that I've seen in the past couple years as well. I was also a big "Benji" fan when I was little. I had a Benji stuffed animal, Benji books, and even named one of our dogs Benji at one point. I vaguely remember seeing the movie, but since I was only 4-5 years old at the time, not much of it stuck with me. The girls recently brought home my old Benji book and loved looking through it and having it read to them. They're big into dogs right now. Anyway... I was at Wal-Mart this morning wasting time waiting for a prescription and found, in the $5.00 movies no less, not one, but FOUR Benji movies all in one package. I thought I had quite a deal and knew the girls would love it. I kept it a surprise until after we had eaten lunch and finished their schoolwork. We opened it up 30 minutes ago. I haven't heard a peep out of Boo & Hanny since they put in the first movie. It's been a long time since they've been so totally captivated by a movie. I think this one's a keeper!
