Remember This?

When I was at The Beatson last week the waiting area for the unit I was attending had a coffee table. On that coffee table was a solitary toy. A Fisher Price children's toy for assisting with whatever skills ae developed by fitting shaped objects into shaped holes; doubtless replaced in many homes today by sophisticated yet simple computer games. Anyway what struck me was the fact that 30+ years ago our children had exactly the same toy. Plus ça change, plus c'est la meme chose.

  2. My girls had one. It's still stored in a box around here somewhere. :^0
