Much like the famed I had my tonsils out! incident, on New Year's Eve, someone asked what the make believe land on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was.
I answered that it was the Land of Make Believe.
No, no, everyone said. It was something else.

Also, it WAS the Land of Make Beleive -- that was one of my favorite shows, and when trolley would show up to take us there, it was a great time of day.
Meg...best. story. ever.
Thank you. It was a long day at work. I effing needed this.
I was a massive fan of the Land of Make Believe as a child and looked forward to their "opera" shows with rabid anticipation.
Oh my gosh. I just actually laughed out loud. I kind of think you SHOULD name your, um, "thing" Lady Elaine Fairchild. It sounds so DIGNIFIED.
it's actually very appropriate. from what i remember, lady elaine was moody, sometimes very cranky and extremely particular about whom she let into her house.
This is awesome. I totally know that you're talking about, I totally remember the Land of Make Believe, and I totally love that this happened. Hee. :)
Bwaaaaa!! That's awesome :D
