In
my toddler days, we had a black and white television which got only
three channels. I was not allowed to watch TV whenever I wanted, but
I was an avid viewer whenever the television was on. Mom would say
that I was spellbound in front of the original Mickey Mouse Club show
– I sang all the songs along with the Mouseketeers and shouted out
their names.
And
the television commercials! Mom said I knew the words to all the ads
and sang along to all the ditties. She said that often if she walked
into my room after I had been put to bed at night, she would hear, in
the dark, a little voice doing the song from a toilet paper
commercial - “there's a definite difference in Delsey” - and the
voice would have all the earnestness in it that you can imagine!
I
don't remember doing this, but I can see Mom sitting at the table
with a cup of tea, a little smile on her face, imitating my little
child voice and singing “there's a definite difference in Delsey,”
as she told the story. And that is a very nice memory to have!
