Sara: just remembered a song Rayn & I re-wrote when we were little. Sung 2 the tune of Winter Wonderland: “In the ghetto we can mug an old man; Steal his wallet & his credit cards; Police ask you if u did it, u say ‘No man!’; But u’ll still be guilty as charged! Later on, at the station, being charged without probation. U’re humming a tune; U won’t be back soon; Walking in a Ghetto Wonderland!

Cherie S.: hahaha!

Kimberly M.: That’s funny! I have a new favorite holiday song!

Sara: LOL! Robbing senior citizens in the spirit of Xmas!

Ryan Mary F.: How funny…. I remember that!

Sara: omg that’s great that you remember it! LOL!

Jessi C.: lmao!!!

Jessi C.: OMG that is sooo Johnny’s song….lmao!!!

Rayn: Ahh! One of my favorite Christmas songs!

Three lines that require correction:
“Steal his wallet FILLED with credit cards.”
“COPS ask you if you did it…”
“Being JAILED without probation.”

Also, we never did settle on the very last line! There were a few variations we tried! LOL!

Samantha P.: lol .. you guys are too funny .. maybe you’ll have to teach kaila and michael that haha

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family…

Sara: I always thought Bill Cosby was the voice behind Speak & Spell…

“Favorite childhood characters of all time: Velveteen Rabbit, Speak & Spell, Rainbow Bright, Braveheart Lion, and Jem”

Rayn: Awww, man…The memories…where do I begin? The Velveteen Rabbit…You inspired years worth of trying to animate my stuffed animals with pure thought (although it never really seemed to work)! And, Speak & Spell! I miss writing curses into you! Rainbow Bright! I remember braiding your hair! Braveheart Lion! You were the best, of course! And, Jem, you were truly outrageous!

Sara: Ahhh sweet Velveteen Rabbit, how I miss you so. I used to carry him everywhere with me. I’ll never forget when Shawn ripped his head off and I just cried and cried and thought he killed him and then Mommy sewed his head back on and all balance was restored in the world.

Kristina F.: I always wanted a speak and spell but I had to play with other peoples….JEM!!!!!! I actually found my Jem dolls the other day. I have the Misfit dolls too! They are all naked though….he he

Sara: LMAO! How did the Barbies and Jems of every little girl end up naked? And The Misfits! “We are the Misfits, our songs are better! We are the Misfits, and we’re gonna get her!”

Fiore M.: Kristina used to have Jem’s cassette tape, with Jem’s song on one side and a Misfits song on the other side. I remember listening to it in awe.
