Log Cabins, Tinkertoys and Eye Kalangot

"Grandpa,
you're kinda
old, right?"
"Yup, my
lil bubushka,
Grandpa's
pretty old.
I'm so old
that we
didn't have
cool toys
like you do
today....like
I never had
Lego. Back
when I was
a small boy
the only toy
we had was
muta.....or
makapiapia
or Grandpa
Gil calls
mukat. Me
and your
Grandpa
Dan used to
roll our muta
into little balls and play catch with it. I remember one
time we had this toy called Lincoln Logs. We used to make
log cabins out of it....which was wierd cuz me and Grandpa
Dan were small keikis in Hawaii and we were thinking,
'Log cabins? Mom! Da termites ate my toy!.'

One time I had this toy called Tinkertoys.

It was good for making stuff. I used to make nonsense
kind of stuff. I think playing with makapiapia was funner.
