 My Thoughts

I remember watching Pee Wee's Playhouse when I was a kid, and seeing it again brought back so many fun memories. The talking furniture like Chiarry, the Spinx head, the genie, the mail lady--all characters I hadn't thought about in years. I felt like I was connecting with long lost friends. Pee Wee's zany antics had me grinning from ear to ear, and my children loved watching it with me.
