A Walk Down Memory Lane
I lost my temper too many times today to count. Not a good day. Perhaps my lack of control pushed Isaac towards madness, too. He kept testing every boundary, over and over. Not very pleasant.
But, in the wasted time I sought to sooth my soul apart from God and prayer, I stumbled across a clip of Tiny Toons animating the They Might Be Giants song, Particle Man. Isaac sat in my lap and pointed at YouTube videos he wanted to see, and so I indulged.
"That one, Mommy," he'd say, smudging his finger on the monitor, while I tried to control my growing annoyance at fingerprints.
For that half hour or more, I watched the intros to Gilligan's Island, The Fall Guy, The Love Boat, Animaniacs, He-Man, She-Ra, X-Men, The Smurfs, The Greatest American Hero, Who's The Boss?, McGyver, and others. I guffawed at Alyssa Milano's hairdos. I remembered the famous poster of a bikini clad Heather Thomas that hung in my brother's bedroom. I wondered whatever happened to Pinky and the Brain. Perhaps Brain succeeded in taking over the world after all; it might be a rational explanation for how the good ol' U.S.of A. has lost it's Constitutional mind over the last six years.
Ah. Nostalgia.
