So, you think you're all groovy and happening, playing with your little X Cubes and Game Squares? Well let me tell you something, whippersnapper, things were a lot different back in MY day.

Sit up straight, wipe that smirk off your kisser, and listen to your Great Granny Googolslippers. When I was your age, we worked 23 hours a day. Thirty minutes to sleep, 20 to eat, and 10 to play. We didn't have fancy schmancy video games, no siree!

Our family was so poor, even our word search games were lacking. We could only afford to search a small section of a grid at a time. But by golly we loved it! We were so happy to have any leisure time that we whistled the whole game through.

Whistling in the Dark -- that's what we called it. Think you can handle a game or two? I've got it here in my sewing bag -- give it a try you little rapscallion, but don't play too long -- I've got a roast in the oven and you've got chores to tend to!
