Edition #6

Thirteen things that I loved as a child! 1. GI JOE.... Oh yes I was the ultimate tom boy. I would have rather had GI Joe over Barbie anyday of the week! When my older sister would annoy me, her barbies got hair cuts! 2. Sesame Steet! I especially loved Snufalufagus! I know I probably spelled it wrong, but oh well. I just loved me some Sesame Street! 3. Troll dolls, I bet I had 100 of those ugly little, wild haired dolls. I had them in many sizes, shapes and colors! They were just the coolest to me. 4. Beating up any one at school who dared to upset my older sister, at least until the 5th grade. I figured if anyone had the right to piss her off or hurt her feelings, it was me, no one else. I was dead serious about it too! Then I realized that she thought it was funny and let her suffer. 5. The Smurfs! How they heck was there only one girl anyways? 6. I was much like Dennis the Menice as a child. Mom never knew what I was going to get into. To say it worried her is to say the very least! Did I mention that we lived in the woods??? I would bring home frogs, turtles and various insects in my pockets, then usually chase said older sister with them. She still hates frogs.... 7. Afternoon an Saturday morning cartoons, I mean come one it was things like She-Ra, He-Man and X-Men. Why bother with the cartoons the kids watch today! 8. Writing on chalboards. For a while we lived in this really old house, and I figured out I could write with the chalk on the walls and it would wash right off! God did that ever get me into trouble with my mom!!! 9. Bath Time! Lets face it, I was a very adventurous kid. Bath time represented room for so much of that! Only I was limited cause mom learned early what a mess I could and would make in the bath tub if she let me have a toy or two in there. So All I got was a bar of soap and the wash cloth, but I wouldnt come out till the water was cold! 10. Puppies! We had a beautiful Australian Shephard, named Gracie. Every time she had puppies, my mom would catch me outside with her and the babies at all hours of the night. I mean they were so cute and little and the dog let me in her area from day one! 11. Care Bears! I loved them! They were so fun, they werent a threat to my tom boyish ways. Or at least not the way I saw it! They were just teddy bears and that was good to me! 12. Hot wheels/ Micro machines! yeah I had a little brother, so there was a cache of wealth that I could have access to at all times! Who needed barbies dream car, i could play with dozens of cars at once! 13. Climbing trees! I would climb them as high as I could, many a time, only to come down when mom acted as if she may faint from how high I was. She always thought I was gonna break something! I never did, but I can recall a few times that I thought I might! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)
