So nobody else played with boxes? :******:

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 ***** 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.

My list? Let's see what I remember...

Cabbage Patch Dolls
Legos
My Little Pony
Barbie
marbles
board games

I don't remember much else, really. My mommy was poor.
 
I also remember the one remote control ******* truck called the ****** that had retractable claws on the tires. I think my ****** got mad and threw it into the back of my ******* with the claws out a long time ago.
