I LOVED This Show!

 Anyone remember waking up on Saturday mornings to watch this??  This was one of my all-time favorite cartoons.  I would never miss it!  My favorite was Uni the Unicorn. 

K, so here is a funny story.  I was about 5 or so.  We lived in Quincy.  We had a big beautiful house with lots of land.  We had a HUGE garden, apple orchard, chickens, berries, etc.  There was also a big old willow tree that was my favorite.  I would pretend and play under that thing for hours.  
So, my twin brothers, Matt and Mark, were in high school at the time.  They were to graduate in the year 1988.  (sidenote: MAN, They are OLD, huh?!?!lol)  One of them....or maybe both of them....had these clear glass keys that said Class of 1988 on it.  They keys were extra large...like probably 6 inches or so in length and about half an inch thick.  They were not meant to unlock anything (except maybe your future.....harharhar!).  Anyway, so anytime my ears would start ringing as a child, I thought it was Uni the Unicorn and the other unicorns from the Unicorn world calling me to the portal!  I would go take my brother's glass key and run under the willow tree, stick the key in the trunk somewhere and await my message from the Unicorns on the other side of the portal.  Because you see, the magical portal to the Unicorn World was located underneath MY willow tree.  Makes perfect sense.  To this day when my ears ring, I think of those poor unicorns trying to communicate with me....and I'm too old to listen.  *sigh*
