The Original "Stretch Armstrong" vs. The Wii

My son turned 5 this last weekend.  I could not decide what to get him as a gift, so I started reflecting on what I got at 5 years old.  Somehow I think my Kenner "Stretch Armstrong" doll was not as my son's Wii.

Stretch Armstrong was an awesome toy!! We had great toys when we were kids and I think one of the best things about being a kid back then is that every kid on the block had the same toys, there was little want or desire for what the nextdoor neighbor kid had, because all played with the same stuff. And the parents won, too, by not having to take out a loan to buy the next latest & greatest toy. I just can't picture a kid today being content playing with a piece of rubber....lol

Happy 5th Birthday to your son!!
