My sources say no

Anyone remember the Magic 8 Ball? A beloved fortune-telling toy manufactured by toy giant Mattel. I had one when I was pretty little - a present from my grandparents on my mother's side. We often used it to ask the important (yes or no) questions of life - Does he have a crush on me? Will he ask me to slow dance on Thursday? We believed in its accuracy when it said what we wanted and laughed it off when it said otherwise. I don't know why we even bothered asking it anything - we would have received just as accurate results from asking the owl at Rainbow Valley (RIP) or a cootie catcher made out of paper and crayons. But ask we did. We'd ask until the Magic 8 Ball told us what we wanted to hear.

Is everything going to be okay?

Yes - definitely.

  1. I was totally thinking about rainbow valley the other day. I ate something at work and I had this immediate flashback of those blue popsicles you could get in that little cave by the flying saucer gift shop. rip.
