Your favorite toy as a kid

[MrMaryLou]

I agree with Simon about playing outside. I did have toys but the best memories are from playing outside and using our imaginations nowadays kids have kinda lost that.

Oh yeah, there was nothing like a good neighborhood baseball game, football game, kick the can or even smear the queer

So very true MML. I even had to restrict the kids from being "inside" the house a few times one summer.

Matchbox cars, legos, logs, erector set, before 10 and motorcycle/drums afterwards were mine

special mention to the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle
Flashback to commercial Clips

OMG as soon as "chores" were done, we zoomed outside. I was laughing at reading Simon's list cuz "kick the can" was at the top of mine. Once we moved back to the states and lived in the "church/parsonage" combo we had this huge parking lot that was empty during the week ..and a magnet for all the kids to hang out. My sister and I had many hours of "red rover", hide and seek, cowboys and Indians (where the indians always won!!) We have a lot of kids in our neighborhood now but you'd never know it cuz they never come out of the house.
