Just Where Did Sweet Pea Come From?
A friend and I were talking about this last night. We are both aging gen Xers and were reminiscing over such things as we remember from childhood and, as it always does, cartoons came up.
Let me get this straight: Popeye was a Sailor Man, right? And there is this kid running around who he is taking care of and raising, but who is not his? And he claims the kid came in the mail?* Am I the only one that thinks maybe Popeye is covering up?
Ahhh, it was a much simpler time then.
*I actually found out he allegedly came in the mail from wikipedia, so it must be true, right?

Ah yes….these are the thoughts that keep me awake at night, and it’s nice to know I am not alone, LOL.
I was a big Popeye fan when I was little, and when I was about 5 the Popeye movie with Robin Williams (I believe that was in 1984) came out. I actually remember wondering why they were having such a hard time finding out whether sweet pea was a boy or girl, and Popeye and Olive Oil were arguing about it. Even at the innocent age of 5 I thought, “Duh! Just take the diaper off!”
