Slinky

SLINKY

Happy Birthday, Julia Christie

One of my favorite toys was a Slinky. One Christmas my aunt bought my cousins and me a Slinky. It was amazing how we could make it walk down a ramp or stairs. One day we decided to have a race with our Slinkys, but that proved to be a diseaster......................all 4 Slinkys tangled up going down the stairs and were runined, no matter how hard we tried to untangle them.


What a great toy it was. No batteries or computer controls were needed to have fun with it. How much simplier times (and toys) were then. How so much uncomplicated times were then. Guess it didn't take much to amuse us as children and we actually survived!!!
