Did you know that according to Wikipedia.. originally, Oreo was mound-shaped and available in two flavors; lemon meringue and cream. In America, they were sold for 25 cents a pound in novelty tin cans with glass tops, which allowed customers to see the cookies.

I have kids into that same cartoon. Great post. The play-ground theme could have chapter's like: “Never walk in front of swing jumpers” or “Pick your teams carefully”, or according to my charming 2nd grade boy, “If you kiss a girl you may have to kiss her best friend as well.”

That's funny, i did actually write a kinda related post on friday -- lessons learned in my current favorite cartoon (on the 'evil plot' meme) http://terezan.tumblr.com/

Thanks to prodding by e-Coach Colonna, i'm really getting into this blogging thing.
