I had an aunt just like Ralphie’s Aunt Clara, she was my Aunt Helen and one year when I was 15 she and my Uncle Andy gave me a big colorful mechanical toy train that if you placed it on a table it would turn around every time it hit the edge. Yup, lights a flashin’ whistle a whistling as it did K-turns.
As I’m looking at this thing go in circles on the table rolling my eyes, my Mom kicked me under the table and mouthed to me to be gracious.
Oh! the embarrassment.
