1940:

1963: "Oh look-a kitchen-table Ping Pong set and some Tootsie Rolls (the movie-theater size).
2010: "Oh look-a little blue velvet box and a little blue velvet bag with a shiny sterling-silver bracelet with a silver charm of a Tootsie Roll, and hey, what's with these little squares of chalk?" The parents then explain, all smiles, that the chalk is a clue-to the 760-pound, professional -quality pool slate pool table with foosball and Ping-Pong attachments that's being delivered next week; that is, if the bay window can be removed for the crane to hoist the table through the dining room. "But don't worry," they assure their children. "That's not your real present. That's just a little something for the whole family."
