Regardless of whether you had them or not, can you remember three popular toys from when you were a child?

Hoola hoop, Sorry!, and Twister.

Did you ever want something specific as a child, but never had it?

So you know that thing I’ve mentioned where I have very few tangible memories of my childhood? Trying to remember stuff like this is like trying to grab hold of a cloud.

Do you still have any toys or games from your childhood?

I think I have a pink container somewhere that has a Barbie in it, but my memory box doesn’t really hold toys. (Not my brain, the literal box in my attic.) There’s a book of poetry I wrote for a third grade project, my girl scout sash, yearbooks, and some photo albums from high school and college.

I think I’ve asked this before, but what was your favourite toy as a child?

I seem to remember a Dressy Bessy doll that I liked. I also remember torturing myself playing the board game Operation — those memories are less happy.

Gratitude:

Blue sky, bright green leaves, and the hope that the hummingbird migration will arrive at our home soon.
