Date: 2006-09-21 12:09 am (UTC)OMG. I *have* seen all of the movies, every episode of the cartoons. Tripped over ever single TMNT toy ever made, and some that were cobbled together. Can still sing the song. And? The Teflon Spouse and I have actually gotten *teary-eyed* when something about them flashes onscreen now. We pretty much lived with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Ghostbusters for a VERY long time. It was such a sweet time in the boys' lives. And, hey, Casey Jones wasn't exactly hard on the eyes (g).

Date: 2006-09-21 02:22 am (UTC)I think my brothers are a little older than your sons (23 and 21 this year).
But yes, we had Turtles EVERYTHING. Underroos, pjs, all the toys, watched the toons and the movies (Casey wasn't bad). We even had a cat named Shredder. (He liked to claw stuff.)
The newer version bites, though.

Date: 2006-09-21 04:12 am (UTC)Oh, yes, jammies, underwear, shoes. What really tickled us was that both boys preferred to wear the underwear *backwards.* It seemed somehow so, I dunno, Freudian, to have the superhero there. (g) Did your brothers do that too, or was that a peculiarity of our family?
Probably my cleverest moment as a mother came once when we hit The Golden Arches of Nutrition, expecting to receive Hot Wheels toys. They were all out. Uh oh, here come extremely disappointed boys...they were scowling fiercely when the girl asked me if the Barbie dolls would do. Yes, I said, they'll be great. Amid howls of protest, I fished them out at the table and with a flourish announced that these were the Klingon Barbies from the Klingon Homeworld. You've never seen brows clear so fast. Whew. Quick thinking, eh? The best part was later seeing Alec sitting on the floor with his William Riker action figure fighting with the Klingon Barbie.
