Taking a trip down memory lane. When I moved a year ago I had to get rid of some of my belongings. I had a set of children’s books from over 40 years ago when I was 7 or 8 years old from a book club that my mom had enrolled me and my sisters in. I had to get rid of them so to say a last good bye to them, I read several of them. Oh man, they triggered some really great memories. I read my favorite kids book, Robin Hood, I read that book at least 40 times when I was a kid. I read Arabian Knights, and a few others. It made me sad to have to get rid of them but at least I got good use out of them.

id be interested in reading your thoughts on the subject @Minnii … marketing class? was that high school or college? i thought you were in your 20s…

It was in high school. I did a professional course in graphic design.
Idk, maybe there are, I was way more into the subject back then. Right now I don’t see the point, unless they wanted to sell to the parents, which doesn’t make sense because disney is more of a self selling brand.
