I remember with fondness the Seymour's book worm talking thing-a-ma-jigger. You would press different buttons corresponding to different parts of speech. Then it would make a sentence! My favorite aspect of the toy was the prepositional phrases. In the grass, on the chair, in my soup. But my favorite one was in my spaghetti. Always made me laugh. Still does. To this day when I'm with my siblings, I'll randomly add in my spaghetti.
Childhood toys are so sentimental. The toys you always wanted but never got are even more so. Take, for example, the easy bake oven. Always wanted one, never got one. They're still magical to me. I'm sure the finished product would now taste disgusting to my adult taste buds but that's not the point. It was just...miraculous.
