I forgot how good these small productions were. XD

When I was little I would watch all sorts of Rabbit Ears stories. I'm in college now, suffering from insomnia, miserable. But I just found this by chance, and here I am, being comforted and nursed, finding myself wanting to sleep, being read a bedtime story, just like when I was little. It's such a nice change of pace. Thanks so much for uploading!

She does an English accent so well! I had to look up where she was from, even though I new she was from America!

53 and sitting on my dresser are my REAL friends. A pink bunny and a teddy bear. fur gone. one of the eyes i think i ate at the age of 3. once a little added stuffing to keep their neck up. I had to move and they got packed away. when i realized they ended up in the storage unit i went and got them and apologized for their inconvenience. and so i will be an oldold lady someday and when I die my real friends will be laid to rest with me.
