Felix The Cat Vs. The Slinky
I’m always singing, “Slinky, Slinky, what a wonderful, wonderful toy!” And one day I was talking with some friends about it and we were thinking that maybe that’s not how the commercial went and maybe I was mixing it up with the Felix the Cat theme song. So of course, I headed right over to YouTube to see what chaos was happening in the blender of my memories in my silly brain!
And guess what I discovered? Even though I was wrong, they do sound quite similar! And I really did just kind of “blender” them in my head!

It’s so much fun having all that history on YouTube! I’m always looking stuff up – and often bugging my kids with it! We have quite an advantage that our parents didn’t have, in that we can now show our kids that “really cool show we used to watch” …or “that commercial that we just loved” …or whatever it is!
More ways to drive my teenagers bonkers? Awesome! You gotta love that! 
Isn’t it our job to drive our teenagers bonkers? They do us. Thanks for the sweet trip down memory lane.
Oh, but, of course!!
We are so good at it, after all!
And oh yeah, they are, too! LOL!
My hand is raised, guilty as charged! I think I’ve sung the Slinky song with the Felix tune more than once. I loved Felix the Cat, and I’ve surely heard that tune many more times than the Slinky one. (p.s. We could never get Slinky to work well on carpeted stairs, and ours weren’t even green shag!)
Haha! Glad I’m not alone, Anita! And I was terrible with the Slinky – I had fun with it, but, I never did anything fancy with it at all!
