Romper, bomper, stomper boo.

Time for another trip down memory lane. This should be a short one, but you never know what might happen once I get going.

Anywho, I remember Romper Room very well. It was one of my regular shows when I was a preschooler and even into kindergarten, oh how I loathed kindergarten. Kissing tag, blech, but that is another post altogether. So I would sit and watch Romper Room each day with rapt attention. I had sent in my name a few times, I had even sent in some of my artwork, if you want to call stick people artwork. I waited patiently every time, waiting for her to say my name.

Then one day, it finally happened. “Romper, bomper, stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic mirror, tell me today. Have all my friends had fun at play? I can see Jeff…” Boom, I disappeared. My mother had never seen me move so fast. I had ran behind the chair I was sitting in and refused to come out till she had stopped looking. See I was sick that day so I was still in my PJ’s, I really didn’t want her to see me like that. My mom still giggles about that to this day, my brother would like to chime in I am sure. But if he does I will remind him of his youthful fear of a certain MR. BILL!

  1. That fear was caused by a sadistic older brother who i also remember making me throw up because i had to go get a shot and he told me they were going to use a needle about as long as your arm…. i also recall a training dummy hanging in our basement ah the memories of my childhood

  2. Jeff, I’ve had the worst time trying to load this page lately… Glad I finally got here. Only a couple of weeks ago I was trying, in vain, to remember the entire Romper Bomper rhyme. Thanks for posting the whole thing!
    When I first started school, my mom wanted me to take my school clothes downstairs to get dressed in the morning so I didn’t wake up the younger kids. I would dress on the couch in front of the TV but I wouldn’t turn the lights on in case they could see me. They, being the people on TV.
    This was such a cool post. :-)
