"I Dream of Sven Tiki"

I dreamt last night I travelled back in time to the 60's and ran into BigBro as a little blonde boy, riding his bicycle down the street! I walked into his garage in the suburbs of some sunny suburban subdivision, and he and a little girl followed me.

I showed him a tin toy I had for him - it was a tin ironing board that folded out, and had the tin head of godzilla attached to it, as well as an attached, hinged fold-out tin sign that said "SVEN TIKI" in a polynesian 60's type font. That was apparently the name of the toy, which was designed to appeal to both boys and girls.

I watched him with amused grin as he studied the words SVEN TIKI very closely , knowing that it would be his nickname later in life, though he didn't know it then. His 7 or 8 year old self was fascinated by the words.

By going back in time showing him this toy in the 60's, I was sowing the seeds of his interest in polynesian pop for the future...

Ha ha!
