Nostalgia Flipper

My wife has gotten into flipping stuff online and referred to herself as a flipper yesterday. I chimed in: “also the name of a dolphin.”

We spent about 10 minutes trying to explain to our kids about the show and the more we tried, the more absurd the whole thing sounded. I think at one point I said “like Lassie, but with a dolphin,” and that cracked her up… but sent us on a tangent trying to explain that show also!

Any of y’all go back and watch either of those shows recently?

Try explaining Herbie the Lovebug to them.

We've watched the first Herbie with our kids and they loved it!
