Sybil Bruncheon's "Didja Know??"... all about Hummels; Part 2…

Boys and Girls, did you know that all of Grandma's little Hummels are in fact just stale, very stale German cake frosting that are quite edible?... (after they've been soaked for a few days in a combination of hot Earl Grey tea and two drops of kerosene!) And did you know that the nice lady that first made Hummels was a nun in Rödental, Germany? Rödental means "Rat-ville" or "Mouse-burger" or maybe something about teeth... whatever.

The first Hummels were made in 1935, and that was a special time in Germany, because a man named Adolf Hitler was the boss, and everyone in the country tried to make him like them. (Do you know someone like that today?) So the nice lady-nun who made all sorts of Hummel milkmaids, and farmers, and goat herders designed a special Hummel for Mr. Hitler. She called it "Everyone Loves The Führer"! It was part of a series of Hummels that had names like "Scotty Has A Brown Shirt And Maxi Has A Black One", "Franz Runs Into The Woods Late At Night", "Lisle Has A Box With A Plunger", and "Fritzi Says Bad Things About France And Poland". Many Hummels are very valuable, so be careful when Grandma leaves you alone with them, especially if you take one down from the shelf and see if maybe it's ticking!!

Sybil Bruncheon's "ON THIS DATE... 1917"...

Boys and Girls, did you know that long before Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, or even Annette Funicello became Mouseteers, Walt Disney had created his special club for children. Sadly, it was in response to the horrors of World War I, and the club was invented with the Top Secret US Army Special Operations Forces. Here we see Clive Turnbyl and Phelicity Jabb (both 12) behind French battle lines, fully equipped with their state-of-the-art "Hear-It-All-Telescopic-Mustard-Gas-Detectors" ready to post alerts to the troops should the Germans begin another round of their fiendish warfare. When spotted in their bunkers by the Germans, it was assumed the children were doing musical morale shows for the troops. Interestingly, Disney didn't name his mouse characters Mickey and Minnie until ten years after the war concluded... prior to that, American military agents knew them only as Jedediah and Gretchen-Patrice Rattinski. It was George Marshall who told his pal Disney that "the names stink! Think of something happier!... with an M... for Marshall!"... And that was on this very date. Back in 1917!
