    Yup. Power Wheels.


    But there's no way I'm getting one for my kids. They can ride their bikes.

    I had a Commodore 64 (C-64) that I absolutely adored (and still have), but I never got either the C-128 or the Amiga 500:

    I loved horses so I wanted one... you know what we got instead? Goats. Pygmy goats and occasional visits from our neighbor's chickens.

    I also desperately wanted my own room. When I got one when I moved to my dad's at 17, I didn't like it so much. The whole house was too quiet with me being the only "kid" there when I was used to 5 other kids being around all the time.

    Penny Hardaway Shoes. My dad said I wouldn't take care of them. He was probably right since I'm 28 and now my wife tells me the same thing.

    A piano. Somehow, an organ ended up in our living room. It was large and ugly, and could not even compare to a piano. I STILL have a secret desire to get a piano and take lessons! :ohwell:

    I wanted my Mom to have twins - then I wanted twins whenever my children were born - two of whom have children (still no twins) and the great-greats (2) are not twins either. Just for the record my husbands family has twins on both sides - just wasn't to be. I did end up with 4 different blood types in my 4 offspring - A+, AB+, AB-, and O+ Quite a feat!

    I wanted my own bike (grew up with seven siblings - Dad died when we were all little kids - no money). I learned to ride on my cousin's bike, but didn't have my own until I was 21! I bought a beautiful, white, Sears Free Spirit 10-speed, baby!!!!!

    It's still in my x's garage somewhere (hoarder man!) Maybe I'll dig it out someday!!!

    Wanted: 22kryr.jpg

    Received: 2hh3ofq.jpg
    "It's better!", my dad said. "Your friends will be jealous!", he said.


    Also Wanted: 2rgjdbo.jpg

    Received: no-name brand. Seriously, I'd have rather worn a trash bag.


    Two things. JUST TWO SIMPLE THINGS. OK, maybe more but these two are still hot on my memory like Jean Nate and Bonne Belle lip balm. Wait, I didn't have those, either :angry:

    On one hand, I get the message they were trying to send--brand names aren't everything. On the other, I think it was a pretty *****y way to make a point. I had a hard enough time fitting in as a kid, and stuff like this didn't help.

    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 had the remote control yellow Corvette. It was awesome. I used to chase our dog with it.

    Teddy Ruxpin. I got a Casey instead. I used to put my Madonna tape in it and laugh like crazy when he would mouth the words to "Like a Virgin" :laugh:

    I was an only child so I was a little spoiled and got whatever toys I wanted. But I always wanted some siblings, and that never happened.

    Then when I was 5 I wanted a baby penguin that I saw at the zoo, and an igloo where me and him could hang out. My parents of course explained to me how it's not possible but somehow I thought I would end up with one, because I was crazy. I must of visited those penguins like 20 times that year. I learned more than average person should know about penguins.

    Early 60's. I sent a letter to Santa for Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. Never got them.

    Told that story to my youngest daughter a couple years ago. Guess what Santa brought me that year? 50 years late, but still fun.
