Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a child. What became of it?
For a while, as a child, I was attached to Barbie's, and all the things that they came with. My best friend and I would use trapper keppers as houses, the flap that closed the trapper kepper was the door, and it swung open and close! How's that for ingenuity?
But my favorite toy as a child would have to be my hospital Lego set. I can remember that I got it for Christmas one year, I know this, but I don't remember the actual Christmas. I can remember setting it up for the first time with my Dad. The best part about it was that there were these pieces that made it so the hospital opened so you could play with it. They were Lego hinges, pretty high tech in that day. They are 'child's play' compared to the Legos my son has now!
I can also remember, and this is what makes them my favorite toy, that I would build my own 'dream house' out of them. Every day the summer before I was in 5th grade, I would build this certain house, always the same way. As far as ten year olds to, it was a pretty sweet 'dream house'.
I am not sure where the set is now. I know my mother has it, but I am just as sure that it is in storage. I am almost as sure that I will never get it back from her, which is odd, since they were a gift to me, but as I have learned from her over the years, "just because someone gives you something, doesn't make it yours."
Thanks for reading,
