I got 'em all. Had to guess on the Kennedy pony but guessed right. My mom used to let me sprinkle the clothes but I spent most of the time sprinkling my brother. And my first car was my dad's old hand me down 47 Studebaker. One of these days remind me to tell all you kids about when margarine first came along. I thought it was going to be a real labor saver since I was the one that had to churn our butter but it didn't work out that way.
