I think my parents must have got them through some kind of proof-of-purchase offer. I have a tactile memory of holding the bag around the handlebar of my tricycle while pedaling around our neighborhood in Cleveland. I was three.<BR/><BR/>I remember reading it, once I learned to read, in my grandparents' newspaper in Toledo. It made no sense to me, and none of the adults would (or could) explain it, but I loved the pictures.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's time for me to pick it up again.<BR/><BR/>—<A HREF="http://100wordminimum.org" REL="nofollow">100 word minimum</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
