The happiest robot around town was the dream toy for a lot of kids back in the day. He was pretty much on all of our Christmas lists. He actually still gets made now which is crazy impressive!

By Tanya
Being a kid was pretty great. We got to play all the time, we had no bills, and our responsibilities were limited to making our beds. However, we never appreciated it at the time.

There were so many things that the mean adults would do that made our lives just totally awful and it's hard to understand how we survived.

By Tanya
When you were in school, the teachers had a series of songs that they would get you sing as a group right? You would go through usually a very short and simple song over and over so everyone would learn it and it would just be a fun exercise in between lessons. What none of us realized was that we were only getting the first verses of the songs and there was actually a whole lot more to them! Whether it's London Bridge or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, there are actually more verses to the song that everyone has just

There are a lot of movies that spoof some of the classic genres, but no one does it better than Mel Brooks. Whether he was poking fun at the old-timey Westerns, the horror flicks or even silent movies, Mel Brooks really can do no wrong. When Star Wars came out, he knew he had to do something, but I don't think even he anticipated what it would become. There was a lot of work that went into making this comedic gem, but it's so seamless when you watch it you probably never even noticed. Let's see how many of these

By Tanya
Kids today have a vague idea of the 80s through TV, movies and just general knowledge that gets passed down, but some of us actually lived through that nonsense. There was neon EVERYWHERE, and hair was bigger than you could possibly imagine. Not everyone wants to remember it fondly because it was a lot going on at once, but you know what, we should embrace our choices. The 80s were the brightest, most colorful and perhaps the most fun decade fashion wise that we have ever had. Kids today may get little pieces of it here and there, but they
