I got to thinking tonight and realized...Everyone has that ~one~ thing they really really REALLY wanted as a child and they never got. And no matter how old you get, you always think back and say to yourself, "I wish I would have had a [insert thing here]. That would have been so GREAT! I'm still torqued I didn't get it!"...
I wanted a Big Wheel...one of the cool ones with a brake. I wanted to go screaming down my street as fast as my little feet could pedal me and then give the brake handle the hardest yank I could and go sliding a few feet before I came to a stop.
I never got one.
I'm still bummed about that. Phooey.
Although, at my age now, I'd look pretty damn funny attempting to ride one down my street...but if I could get it going fast enough, a challenge indeed given the weight of my big arse, I'd yank that brake and hope for that long awaited gleeful slide down the street...but would probably jolt myself right off it into oncoming traffic instead!
You?

I wanted a Big Wheel and real Legos. My mom was too cheap to buy me real Legos. I had fake Legos. :( My son will always have real Legos and a big wheel too!

I never got to fill my Barbie Dream House. I finally got the darned thing from Santa, with a china cabinet, and that was about it. The house remained empty the whole time I owned it. Then we moved and I couldn't take it with me. But when it was mine, I was somewhat irked that the house didn't have stairs or a bathroom.
I was never into big wheels. As much as the Disney Princesses drive me crazy thanks to my daughter, I think that's what I would have been into if the Disney marketing gurus had thought of it 30 years ago.
I actually had the coolest big wheel ever. It was a Road Runner, had four wheels, but no brake. I burned the plastic tires off of it. Dad said he should have known that burning tires off was always going to be my thing.
I used to really want my own go-kart, but Dad was worried I'd kill myself so I never got one. Oh well, I'll probably buy one for my kids one day and they'll have a horrible accident in it and I'll think to myself "Well, that's why Dad never let me get one."
Sit and Spin. I get motion sickness. Dr. did NOT reccomend it.
