Yesterday in my study hall I was working away on my computer when a student came up to me and said....
"Mrs. Alexander, can you Google something for me?"
I replied, "Sure Ben. For what?"
"I want you to look up P.O.G. I got this thing out of a quarter machine and it says P.O.G. all over it."
As I type in "P.O.G" I begin to think that this looks very familiar. Then it pops into my brain...POGS!
I scream...Ben you have a Pog. He looks at me like I am a crazy high school teacher (this is becoming the norm). I am amazed that neither he nor anyone else in the study hall has ever heard of the game of Pogs!!?! They are all looking at me like I am crazy, when Ben says " So, is this thing worth any money?"
What? Something I grew up playing is NOT old enough to be worth any money! I am both shocked and offended! Shocked that I am 10 years older than these kids and offended that they are aware of this fact!
Reminiscing about good old Pogs made my mind travel back to other toys/images of my youth that seem to have disappeared....
Ahhhhh...the good old days...:)
