So nobody else played with boxes? :crying:

We played with boxes C_A. We had an appliance store adjacent to our property and we would grab boxes from refrigerators, washers, dryers, you name it. We would set up forts in the backyard and sleep in them at night. They would get destroyed when it rained, though one is still standing and I live in it!

I used to live near a park with HUGE hills. We all would get boxes and sled down the hill. Good times.

And this is why I live with another guy.

Cabbage Patch Dolls
Legos
My Little Pony
Barbie

I don't remember much else, really. My mommy was poor.

This might make me sound like a huge fag, but I don't care...

When I was younger, I used to sleep with a Glow Worm in one arm and Wembley from Fraggle Rock in the other.

I forgot about my Glow Worm!!!

And I had a Popple!!

I also remember the one remote control monster truck called the Animal that had retractable claws on the tires. I think my sister got mad and threw it into the back of my brother with the claws out a long time ago.
