too old for smurfs?

I do not know the Smurfs’ names; I did not know they had names. I did not know the recently-stated admission until about five minutes ago when I decided to take the quiz on how your mind works. I thought it would be a series of pictures and the questions would be along the lines of: What did you see first in this picture? Can you identify this part of a whole? What color appeared dominant? and whatever else. But, the little push button to take you to the quiz just led to a batch of multiple choice questions. And one of those questions wanted you to name your favorite Smurf. I had to randomly pick one; there was no “I have no idea who these guys are other than part of a blue group.”  I had issues with a couple of other questions as well, sort of like a witness being forced to answer “yes or no” and not allowed to add an important condition.

Example:

Was the phone ringing?

Yes, but it is faulty and rings all the time.

or

No, it is broken.

But back to Smurfs. I remember when they were popular;  I remember when Christmas paper featured them for one year . . . and then everyone realized blue folks didn’t go too well with red and green decorations. I did not know they had names, although I am acquainted with Cindy Lou Who of Grinch fame.

Oh well. One thing, though, the quiz didn’t want to know who my favorite Duggar is.

I’m logical, by the way. Old, but logical. But I suspect that is only when I am not in my customized alternate universe.

One thought on “too old for smurfs?”

  1. Sorry, the Duggars rate right up there with Pioneer Woman in my book. I hear about they ALL the time. They are gods in the homeschool community. I’m a terrible cynic about the whole thing.
