My brother is 4 years older than me, he had this and swears up and down that I destroyed it! He claims that I freaked out thinking I was being attacked.

My sister had a Mrs. Beesely doll like this one. I hated that stupid doll and cut it open to see what made it talk. I got a whoopin but it was worth it.

Yep, all the neighborhood kids would ride behind the truck.  The most daring would get right up in it.

A lot of people probably don't know this, but the "K" in "K-Mart" refers to Kresge's.  It was the company that K-Mart grew out of.
