    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.

    I love that! What a great daughter! :)

    She's always doing that. 4 years ago she got me drumsticks and a cow bell, cuz I love Christopher Walken.

    I wanted my parents to get cable TV, but they said NO WAY were they paying for television. I was a teenager during the start-up of MTV, and I didn't see a video unless I was at a friend's house. My parents are in their late 60s now, and they STILL won't pay for cable.

    The only thing I could think of is dance/gymnastics lessons. But that was considered non-essential, so I ended up taking piano lessons which was in their minds, culturally correct. Funny thing tho, I also got to take baton twirling lessons. Weird huh?

    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.

    I remember my sister wanted a Popple badly and never got one. I just wanted a pair of jeans that were long enough.

    I wanted a life size doll or Barbie and a car I could ride in but never got them. I wanted a doll house too but I got that when I was a little too old for it. I did not end up playing with it much.

    I wanted a tree house too! I saw Swiss Family Robinson and their house seemed so cool. I also wanted to live on an island or near the beach.

    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.

    I wanted to share a room with my sisters, but sadly they did not want to share a room with me. I did not like having my own room. Thankfully, I can share a room now with my husband. It is so nice.

    an older brother


    Don't feel bad that you didn't get one. I always wanted an older brother too. Mom explained that an OLDER brother was a complete impossibility. She then explained that a younger brother or sister was also a hell to the no. When I was 13, I really did get the older brother I'd always wished for. (Dad married a woman with a son 5 months older than me). I was thrilled! For all of about 3 months. Then I realized that that was the stupidest wish I'd ever made. Older brothers are buttheads. :laugh:

    I wanted straight hair :sad: I suffered through the 80's with a nappy mullet. Thanks, mom.

    I always got everything after everybody else it seemed :grumble:

    I wanted to be a girl scout. Biggest thing I remember.

    A collie, just like Laddie in Lad, A Dog. Alas, my dad said a collie was too big for our suburban yard. When I finally got a dog at age 10, it was a Keeshond. I named him Tristan and took him to obedience school; he flunked twice. :-( He was no Laddie!
