[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1820233, member: 8202"] Oh, roller skates! I think there were a few years when I never actually took a step! I rolled everywhere I went. My skating fascination lasted well into my teens, and if I still had the knees, I'd be skating to this day. I love it! I never hit anyone but my own self with my clackers. I had several bruises on my hands... Once I got the hang of them, though, it seemed effortless, and I could just walk around clack-clack-clacking! I suspect you might have been the same kind of kid my ex-husband was. His mother one time had me in stitches telling me about the times she almost killed him. Once she beaned him in the back of the head with a rock when he was running away laughing at her after pulling some prank, and another time, she actually threw a butcher knife at him. Thwanggggg! It stuck into the door jamb right beside him and scared him into obedience. (I don't know, but she swore that knife story was true, and so did the ex...) 🤣 Oh, yeah, Spirograph! And the Lite Brite! And Etch-a-Sketch! I had so much fun with those. I had an Easy Bake oven, too, that baked with a light bulb. I kept making my mom breakfast in bed (Easy Bake cake and frosting) until I'm sure she regretted getting me THAT, too. I think one of my favorites, that I had forgotten until just now, was The Visible Horse. Those models came in all different species, including humans, but I was a horse nut, so my dad got me the horse for Christmas one year. It was a model of a horse, the skeleton and all the organs and muscles... then when you got that all put together, you painted the veins and arteries onto the inside of the clear plastic outside shell and glued them together. I had that thing for [I]so long,[/I] and now I can't recall whatever happened to it. My mom probably threw it out. She was good at throwing stuff out when we weren't looking. [/QUOTE]
