Favorite Childhood Memory

[DianaB]

I didn't have a Barbie house but I did have 2 Barbies, Midge, Skipper, and Skooter. I loved my dolls and even yet it's hard for me to let the kids play with them.....Silly, I know. Skipper and Skooter were my absolute favorites!! I didn't have a Ken so Barbie had to date G. I. Joe!! My brother had him!!

Ah.....memories!! I grew up in a neighbor with lots of other kids and I have so many memories.....from saving a couple of sisters who were "drowning" in a mud puddle!! Making cement mud pies from an opened bag of cement my Dad had! Climbing trees.......making a play house from an old tarp and propping it up with odds and ends in the yard. Playing the "Girl from U.N.C.L.E" with a neighbor girl.....riding bicycles.......playing kickball in the street with a mailbox for a base......two tar spots on the road for bases and a fence post for the last base!! We used our imagination so much....it's sad to see kids that can't figure out how to really play any more.
