MY LITTLE PONIES!!!!!

Eventually, I moved onto Treasure Trolls. Man, those things were so ugly, they were cute!

The, I traded in the Little Ponies, for Breyer model horses. Those are EXPENSIVE! But they are beautiful, and I loved them.


I also liked playing with cars and Legos. My mom hated them, because she would always step on the ones that were buried deep in the shag carpet!

i still remember the very first my little pony my mom got for me: its name was parasol, and it had rainbow-colored hair and little umbrellas and raindrops on its booty.


yep, same with me...i had legos and wouldn't pick up after myself, so my dad would walk around the house barefoot and step on some lego pieces and get mad at me and tell me he'd throw them all out if i didn't clean them up.

A friend of mine and I have been trying to find an authentic hula hoop for awhile now and we haven't been able to find one in the stores. The hula hoops we’ve found are smaller and some of them even had water in them, I don’t know what that’s about.

My mom always threatened to vacuum them up, or throw out the whole box, but it never happened. They managed to hide themselves in the weirdest places. My mom said that she opened her purse at the grocery store to take out her check book, and a Lego fell out!

Oh if only it had!

Had I ever worn such an outfit, I'll bet a few of the neighborhood kids would have been my assistants in making my front teeth disappear.

lego and chips paraphernalia LOL i loved the CHIPS

I always wanted a G.I. Joe action figre when I was a kid.
But we were so poor,
all I ended up getting was the Kung-Fu grip.

The original star Wars toys go for a mint now!

I hated the Star Wars toys...especially after one of my best friends shot a BB into my leg for not trading him one of my Darth figures for some lame shit he had....fucking bully!!!

...still my boy though.....

I bought my boy two of those hotweel tracks (I love bilding with those, hehe, he likes to try out my ramps and turns)
