    When I was young, every house had these nursery rhymes on VHS tape. I used to be absolutely terrified of them. Got curious and did a bit of digging on YouTube and found the videos! Anyone else remember having this on tape as a kid?

    Listen here Mr. Whippersnapper, when I was young, every house had nursery rhymes recorded in books.

    No. Don't remember watching TV as a kid.

    We played outside, or maybe board games sometimes. TV was for adults. Doesn't look like I missed out on much! :P

    Hard times where I grew up, the ice cream van was always empty, that's why it played music when it came around right?

    I grew up in a shanty town with a plastic bag for a dress and coke bottles for sandles. As a treat we'd eat the swamp rats toasted over a fire. Ah...nostalgia.

    Long after my time. We just used books. I was in my late 30s before I saw my first video.
