We opened it and there stood Santa. We knew that Santa was not real but seeing him there at OUR door!!! hahaha He asked us why we weren't in bed. That was all it took:) We slammed the door in his face and ran for bed. haha My brother got one of those kits:) I remember playing with it:) but unlike you my parents never deceived me about Santa;) but we still got excited about him. lol

I love it! Laughed so hard I couldn't breathe! I also wanted that kit ... good to know that I'm in good company. Also good to know that I'm not that much of a nerd ... still don't know what the difference is between a phototransistor, not a solar cell. ;) Senta … I love it! Laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe!

Well, I wasn't successful anyway. Everyone told me that didn't believe in him because I never got any presents. Bah hum bug!!!

I'm seeing a theme... I totally had that kit too! Ha ha ha... In 5th grade, we did a whole unit on inventors and then had an "invention convention", science-fair type thing.
