Growing up, what were your favorite toys to play with as a child?
Do you guys remember POGS? It was the “coolest” thing to play when I was growing up…all the kids at recess would bring their long plastic containers filled with these circular shaped pieces of cardboard and their “slammers” and trade with other kids Man i don’t know how I remember this…
Marketers really know how to take advantage of kids and in their parents
oh and there was also the Tamagotchi craze with all the girls!
I had an older bro and younger sis...our fave toy was younger sis. We'd take all the belts and neckties from Dad's closet and string her up on the clothesline, make her "fly like superman"across the yard lol. Then we'd get out dad's ladder,have her go to the top and tell her "come on! JUMP!! We'll catch you!"
I wonder why my mom didnt suffer a fatal heart attack lol!
We also took barbies and GI Joes and "boing" them off the clothesline to see how high they could go.
Went to a local pond to find frogs, would stuff them in our pockets in the hope that mom would let us keep them.
HOW I loved my childhood lol! And HOW my own kids wouldnt even dream of doing the things that I got away with lol!
Wow! lol I don’t know how your mom survived all that as well!!
But yea most kids these days don’t really have an imagination… and that’s unfortunate! I remember playing power rangers with my brothers I’d always be the pink one…as funny as that is to admit now …or there was the whole sailor moon craze and all the girls at recess would fight with each other over who got to be who…wow those were the good old days
