    Default the ageless toys of our youths

    Today I remembered about the little red <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View-Master">View-Master</a>.

    And I remembered how creepy it was.

    I had inherited it from my brother or sister so I had several reels at my disposal, including (I think) mary poppins and the cabbage Patch kids.

    Those few still images in 3-d creeped me out quite a bit, but they were so enticing; what were these characters? Why were they in a garden?

    For recreational purposes, my parents gave me scissors and told me to run.

    I remember view-masters! They made me feel educated without knowing it. I don't like sneaky education.
