I never had one. Nor did I have Chatty Cathy, Creepy Crawlers, Shrinky Dinks, or Spirograph. However, I had the Lin-O-Printer!
Oh my! This Gutenberg-style publishing machine was amazing! It had a drum on its red frame, and my sister and I would attach plastic forms to create mimeograph-style fun. We made fake money, driver’s licenses, library cards, and even printed a small newspaper. Our projects took forever to accomplish as we had to attach each letter individually, ink up the drum, and turn it to print our masterpieces one by one. Hours of fun. Best baby-sitter ever.
Apparently Santa Claus knew I wasn’t going to be a Master Chef, but possibly would write something one day? How insightful that guy is!
