(1,800 posts)Spirographthough the pens were horrible and the plastic always broke around the nibsand I also had those ugly trollswith the cave housewhich would probably be worth something if my mum hadnt tossed it when we moved.
My sister got the good Barbie and store-bought clothes. I got the dumb little sister, Skipper. We used to use mums high heels as sports cars, and poor Skipper couldnt sit all the way in the seat because her dumb legs were straight and didnt bend.
We also put in hours and hours making clothes for them, though. Seems funny to think I have Barbies to thank for being able to use a sewing machine with some expertise.
I think my favourite things as a child were books, though. Id take a bedside lamp into my closet and read all day long. Still a reader to this day.
