Scooby-Doo! Who Knew!!!

In the event you have never met Lauren, or perhaps you have not seen her in the last six months, there is one thing that is clear.... she LOVES Scooby-Doo!  Mostly she loves Freddie, who comes second in her heart only to her Rocket Blanket.  She tells me she likes Fred because he always solves the mystery, but I know it is really because she thinks he's cute.  Ahhh, her first cartoon crush.

It is not uncommon for Lauren to watch as much of her favorite ghost-busting gang as possible, but in recent days she has been under the weather and watching more than this mama's brain can handle.

With that, I share with you some interesting factoids about my favorite mystery solving crew from when I was a kid, most of which I never knew....

The source of my information is the back of the box Lauren received for Christmas containing her favorite Scooby friends.  It should be noted that I needed to remove a heart sticker from Fred's stats for this composition.  Yes, she loves in that much.
