Speak & Spell with an Owl?

[Homerboy]

My wife mentioned the other day she recalls getting a Speak & Spell that was the shape of an owl with a mortarboard on his head for Christmas one year when she was a little kid. I can clearly recall the classic red/yellow S&S, but I don't recall one that was shaped like an owl...

Anyone recall this? Was it something other than a Speak & spell?

It was the one that rotated around when you pulled a string - "The cow says MOOOO!"

I don't think it was speak and spell, something else.

Yeah I thought of that too, but I don't think that was it. I vaguely (very vaguely) recall the S&S with an owl. Its so long ago though...

I very specifically remember that one and the owl with the board on his head. I had one.

so we will chalk this up to my wife as "krazy". Which is 100% plausible.

<edit> granted that's not an owl, but it is for sure what I was thinking of.... I wonder if she was thinking the same. Crap.

It was not a speak and spell, and yes it was an owl with a mortar board on his head.
Most of the electronic toys like the Speak and Spell were made by TI, but this one was not, if I recall correctly.
I had one, so she's not crazy.

I too recall this. As willing as I am to immediately indict a wife as krazy, I think she might be ok on this one.

It might be this one, i recall someone in my family had one. wasnt as much fun as a speak and spell though.

Sadly I had to confirm it with her... it was the Little Professor that I linked above.
HOWEVER the Quiz Kid is freaking CLASSIC too... I want both now.
