Send us Fan MailHello my name is Ebeneezer SmithThank you for staying with me.(mutters to himself)All right. Let’s see what kind of neighbors I’ve got.There is a set of plastic building bricks.There is a board game whose box I remember arguing over with my cousins.And in the “Comfort and Companions” section, a bear that looks suspiciously like something I once slept with every night until I was far too old to admit it.[SOUND: Footsteps slow.] And I admit this is the kind of atmosphere that does make you want to talk to yourselfWell, hello there, middle-school emotional support system.FootstepsEverything is quiet.Ordinary.Almost disappointingly normal.Let me see - here is a gallery labeled: “American Playthings: 1940s–1960s.”A soft metallic… whisper.[SOUND: Very faint first shhhink… shhhink…]It has to be nothing.The building settling.A vent conductor rattling.The ghost of a shopping cart from the discount store next door.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
