    When I was a kid I prayed every day for a bike, but then I realized god doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.
    LOL :laugh:

    When I was 12 I wanted a Rainbow Boa. My step father said no pets of any kind
    My stepmother said no snakes in her house. I then asked for a lizard and she said that was just a snake with legs. :(

    Also, when the movie, Purple Rain, came out my mom said I could see it. Then she went to see it and said that I was no longer allowed. She bought the soundtrack (on vinyl) as a consolation prize... I was mad for months.

    A power wheel. The Barbie Jeep to be exact.

    That was the only thing I wanted that I never got. Growing up, my husband wanted a Jeep power wheel as well and never got it. Needless to say, our son now has 2 of them. :laugh:

    The Barbie Dream House & pink Corvette! Instead I had to put my barbies in a shoe and push them around pretending it was a car. My friend had the house so we used hers.

    I longed for one of these as a child. Bought the modern day version for one of my kids and it turned out to be a crushing disappointment in shattered expectations.

    I wanted a baby elephant when I was six years old, and boy did my dad have a time explaining me that yes of course he loved me, but wanting an elephant is a ridiculous request. I actually still want one, but I am obviously not equipped or qualified to own a pet elephant and realize how crazy that dream is. Lol

    After watching the movie Andre I wanted a Dolphin that could live in my bathtub.

    Roller skates. We would go out the the skating rink and I always had to rent them. I was always envious of the people that had their own.

    The only thing I can ever remember asking for while growing up was a guitar for Christmas when I was 8. I got super excited when my cousin got a drum set and my brother got an electric keyboard. Then they brought my gift out and it was some Barbie stuff. Apparently they deemed a guitar too noisy.

    I wanted to be a porn star.

    I knew that it would be hard work so I practiced all through my teenage years (actually started at age 11).

    I practiced till I thought I had it down perfect and then got married. Ended that dream.

    (Sigh)

    I wanted an easy bake oven so bad I couldn't stand it, but never got one. I got one for my daughter when she was 8, and one day we were playing around with it, and she asked why don't we just make cupcakes for real. So we bagged the EBO, and had a much better time with the real thing.

    I always wanted a motorcycle growing up. But my mom would never allow it. I was 27 before I got my first motorcycle. Now I have two (just never sold the first one when I upgraded) and never ride lol.

    I also always wanted a new saddle. I have ridden horses as long as I have walked. My dad got me a used saddle, which was perfectly suffecient. But every spring, my dad and I would have a day trip one Saturday where we took the horses to the amish in tennessee to have them shawed, then we would spend the day going to all the tack shops and such. I would drool over their hand made saddles, always wanted one.

    A snake. Not a large one, just a regular garden snake. I use to go hunting for them. My mom was terrified of any kind of snake so when we had one in the house she called for me. Then i realized i really did not want one. Couldn't bring myself to pick it up.

    Now i don't love them but i don't mind them either. My husband is terrified of them though (along with mice) so if we come across one i have to take care of getting rid of it. I don't mind though because he takes care of the spiders (YUCK!).

    I also wanted a horse. Finally got a few of those when i grew up.
