i've figured it out!

so my brother sister and i are odd.
as if you couldn't figure out that i'm odd.

but yeah.

i've figured out what it comes from.

enter exhibit one:


so. we loved beetlejuice as kids. still do.
so our parents bought us this lovely toy.
not only is it a creepy toy of beetlejuice.
but. it also has a pull chord and talks.
and if a talking beetlejuice isn't creepy enough for you kids...
his head spins.
you crank his head once around [or more if you're into that]
and push a button on his back.
and his head spins around and around.

seriously.
creepiness.
not a good toy for children.

and now onto exhibit two:


this wonderful toy is called jibber jabber.
he's looks innocent.
but he's not.
remember those tubes things that had that thing in it and if you tipped the tube, it made a fun noise?
well jibber jabber has two in his head.
running in opposite directions.

the point of the toy:
grab him by the neck.
then shake violently.

result:
annoyed parents and children who like to strangle their toys.

onto exhibit three:


glo worm.
[not the key chain version]

now many of you will have fond memories of glo worm.
i know i did.
as did my brother [4 yrs younger]
as did my sister [7 yrs younger].

now the issue with this toy in my family...
it still has the original batteries.
and he still glows.
i'm not sure how old i was when i got it..
not more than 2 probably.
and now i'm going on 22.
that's 20 years.
and the batteries still function quite well.

we're afraid to open the back.



there ends my realization as to what is wrong with my brother sister and i.
i thought you all would enjoy.
or at least get a laugh.

:c)
