Blogger Idol Week 10 - Childhood Treasures

When I was a little boy, my favourite toy was called "The Woodsey's Log House." It was a fabric little house that contained three puppets, Mom, Dad and Milkweed Woodsey. It also came with a story book called "Lightning strikes Twice," which told the story of how the Woodseys lost their home in a thunderstorm, but were able to find a nice new log in which to live.



However, young Seppo was not much interested in this story, I used the Woodseys to stage miniature reinactments of my favourite songs. For instance, Milkweed Woodsey would be the doomed Christ from "Jesus Christ Superstar" and Mom Woodsey would act out the part of Mary Magdalene, who didn't quite know how to love him... This, however, caused a bit of drama in the household, when I came running out of my room with little stuffed animals in my hands, shouting, "crucify him, crucify him" Not a very good idea when the born agains from next door were over for coffee.

My second favourite reenactment was that of "The Coward of the County" by Kenny Rodgers. Obviously, at a tender age, I was already obsessed with music, but that which I listened to was limited to what I received (thanks Aunty Joy). The best part of Coward of the County was when Kenny sings "You could have heard a pin drop, when he turned and locked the door." At this point, little Milkweed Woodsey, in his role as Tommy, turned to the door of the log house and locked it... and he definitely won Becky's heart.
