Vera, if we're going to play, so do you! Come on now...
Childhood: My bike! I got it when I was 9. It was turquoise and white. I rode it everywhere. It meant freedom to me.
Adulthood: Right now, it's my cookbooks. Second favorite: my computer.

Okay!  1. Favorite childhood toy:
It was a toy typewriter but it really worked and, oh, how I loved it! My little index fingers and thumbs were always black from trying to keep the ribbon in place. 2. Favorite "grownup" toy:
It is a tie between my computer and my Schwinn Ranger bike. I bought the bike at Target about three years ago and I love riding it... makes me feel like a kid again. Of course, I spend much more time on my computer than on my bike, so that could break the tie.

Wow, childhood toy...I would have to say Lego. I was fanatic about building stuff with these blocks and I could never seem to have enough of them.
Adulthood toys. Now thats a hard 1 to choose. I got my computer and laptop, my ITouch which has pretty much replaced my PSP, my camera and equipment, my airsoft guns (a recent thing so small collection), snorkel gear, all my kitchen tools (still loving my Kitchenaid)...dude, you can't have me choose just 1!!! |
