    Everyone had a deformed slinky. I didn't have any Barbies, but for a price, I would decapitate them.

  • That was always the first thing I did with them. cut their hair and pull their legs and arms off. It pissed my mom off so much cos she said expensive.

  • Sounds about right. I was a bit late into the internet world. I didn’t even really spend any time on it until I got my first smart phone. so that was 2013ish.

    A)  And I used the  broken deformed  Slinky's as a barbwire fence around my GI Joe camp. Cheers and happy weekend!

  • Getting slinky’s was always so exciting until they got the kink -_-

    Definitely broken, decapitated barbies. I bet if I look up in my parent’s loft, they might still be up there somewhere.

  • As a kid I turned all my sisters Barbies into Super Heroes.
    Occasionally heads were lost in battle.
    Small price to pay for saving the world.
    I too had slinkys that inevitably would twist and contort
    the metal ones were worse than the plastic ones
    but I was a pro at untangling them.
    A skill similar to that of untangling Christmas lights.
    The landscape of my youth is riddled with the senseless carnage of toys.
    I sometimes miss my toys
    I also miss Toys R Us.
    and that leads me to wasting time on ebay.
    Like peering through a nostalgic window.
    Mostly I suppose there was this...
    something that is true for all of us
    As a kid I always had more future than past.
    Maybe there is a "C" after all.

    I'm a boy. My sister got the Barbies. Slinkies also never lasted long.
    I had a collection of toy cars and Lego.

      (Slinky’s Slinkies)

    Placing the apostrophe on a noun before the letter s does not make it a plural, it makes it a singular possessive.

  • You are correct about the apostrophe but Slinky is a proper name for a helical spring (which is the common name) and therefore would not be changed to slinkies but rather would be slinkys for the plural.

    You are absolutely correct. Slinky is the proper name.
    Expanding on this, the apostrophe should be after the S if showing possessive on the plural.  

    Slinky's - Singular possessive
    Slinkys' - Plural possessive

  • I've pondered this unexpected Slinky predicament and I believe you to be quite correct.

      The context in which she used the word is plural, not possessive.
