I had two favorite toys growing up: My PC Pal and my Mother Goose.
PC PAL: This was a disgusting little gadget that used a DOS program to play word games. I used to bring it on road trips and it was so much fun. One night, I camped out in my front yard. It rained the next day. My PC Pal was drenched. I was distraught and my parents bought me a new one. *whew*
MOTHER GOOSE: Mother Goose was this lifesize bird that read me stories. This was a perfect replacement for parents. Haha. After putting the appropriate cassette into Mother Goose’s wing, one could listen to the bird tell the story of Humpty Dumpty.
One night, Mother Goose came alive and started moving her mouth and staring at me. I SWEAR! It was super scary and I am still petrified of birds to this day.
