Molly, what a great story! Indeed, what did happen to all the Space Rats? There would have been thousands of them, and unless there was an official recall that the show never revealed... I like the thought that the grandmother bought them for her baby grandson, expecting them to increase in value. Like collectors who stock up on Beanie Babies, Star Wars toys left in their original packaging...
A wonderful bonding experience for grandmother and grandchild. They won't forget this...
For a boy, being ordered to put Barbie dolls in his shopping cart was probably the worst thing that could possibly happen to him.
Oh my, how true. For years my son has simply refused to even go near the "pink" aisle(s) of toy or department stores. I can just imagine how he would feel...
Whether or not the chemical goo would have retained its potency after 10 years...that worked for me. And although I don't like to cry "sequel sequel", I do admit to some curiosity about the story of that second rat. Or any other rats. So if you want to write them...
Kathy
