Is there something that you wanted...

[Tuffcookie]

when you were growing up that you never got???? This came to me as I was watching a Lowes commercial on TV and a dad builds a tree house for his son. When I was younger I always wanted a tree house! So what was your growing up wish?

TC:cool:

[JohnTBap]

I wanted the little million piece plastic Calvary fort with the cowboys and Indians. And a pony. And a go-cart. And a motorcycle.

[BabyLove99]

a big trampoline!

[browneyes]

An inground, 10 foot deep, olympic-sized swimming pool.

[supercarrie]

I always wanted a mini balance beam so I could practice on it.

[kylara]

I am sure there are lots of things but I honestly can't remember them now. I am sure that my mom could give me a list if I asked.

Not to be a downer, but the only one BIG thing I can remember, is that I wanted a cure to the illness my neighbor had. He was like a younger brother to me. Unfortunately it didn't happen. He passed away when he was 13 (I was 16). Made me mad for a long time after...

[Lars624]

a dog...........I was allergic............

[nativetxn]

A horse :) The only other thing that I can remember <b>really</b> wanting that I never got was a package of glitter crayons. I think I was 8 years old that year. I have survived the trauma though ;)

[ShuisFan584]

I always wanted one of those little Barbie cars that you could drive in, but I never got one!

<font color=#0066FF>I saved up and bought myself one when I was 15.

When I was little I remember always wanting one of those play kitchens that had a stove and cupboards where you pretended to prepare plastic food.</font> ;)

Mainly, a pool and trampoline.

But I do remember wanting a Panama Jack t-shirt. My parents went to get us some, probably after a couple of years of begging. My sister got one, but they were out of my size. So they promised I'd get one when we found one in my size. I never got it... I bet you parents don't think your kids remember stuff like that. I think my parents forgot after a few days.

[catsrule]

a big pool in the backyard. and i still want one but i don't want to take care of it.

[olena]

Strawberry Shortcake dolls.....:D

[Bump]

A Evel Knievel (sp?) wind up toy that used to jump over stuff at least thats what the adverts on telly said ;)

[JohnTBap]

My brother had one of those!!! You didn't miss anything. :)

[SDAngel101]

I wanted a horse! and i still do!!

Im thinking about getting a job at this horse ranch by my house.. its actually a boarding house, but i will do anything to get to be by those big beautiful animals!

Oh well another Childhood dream crushed :)

hehe thinking about it they were pretty crappy looking

[snoopy]

Hmmm, with 8 siblings, I would have been happy with something that I didn't have to share.

I also remember wanting a horse. I used to draw pictures of the horse I wanted, it was a Palimino. I'd hang these pictures up around the house hoping my parents would get the hint and buy us one. Which in itself was a laugh, since we lived in the city and had no yard, who knows where I was thinking of actually putting the horse. :)

[mickey65]

An Easy Bake Oven. ALL my friends had them..and when I went to their house that is what I wanted to play. I saw one at a garage sale last summer (the real old kind..the green one!) and I almost bought it :eek:

[glo]

I always wanted to have one of those Barbie houses with the elevator in the middle with the pulley.

[Kitty 34]

I always wanted an older brother but as I got older I figured out that that was never going to happen, with me being the oldest!!!:rolleyes: :)

[doxdogy]

A Barbie beauty center.

[bizybea]

My little ponies and saddle shoes. (All the cool girls wore them!)

(Needless to say, DD has both, and a powerwheels, and a play kitchen set complete with plastic food, and a play laundry center with ironing board and all, and anything else that I wanted when I was her age but didn't get!)
:rolleyes: ;)

[CathyCanada]

A horse and an older brother. I had lots of friends over the years that were like "big brothers" to me.

kylara, I'm so sorry. To see someone you care about die so young must have been rough.

[Pin Wizard]

I always wanted one of those cute vanity tables. Never got it.

[Sonya]

A Light Brite and a Mr. Potato Head.

A brother or a sister, didn't care which, but I wanted an older brother or a twin sister. Wasn't going to happen!

Oh Heather!! I collect them!! I have a huge collection of Strawberry Shortcake that I have had since I was a kid!!


I always wanted an inground pool!! :)

[Lars624]

At the mall w/ DD13 the other day we were looking in Claire's and they had some new Strawberry Shortcake things.

[Boots]

A canopy bed. My mother always said they were just dust collectors, but I thought they were so pretty!

[tiggerlover]

I remember wanting Lego's but my parents telling me they were just too expensive. I had a cousin who had a HUGE collection and it made me envious every time we went to his house to play.

:bounce::wave::bounce:

[julie_yet]

<font color=#0066FF>I remember being really little and wanting this baby doll that was in a store in the mall that sounded real. You could here it breath and it's heartbeat and it would cry. And everytime we'd go to the mall I'd have my dad pick me up to see the doll on the top shelf of the store widow.
My brother wanted a Teddy Ruxpin.<font>

[abaldacci]

i never got one but now i am glad. i would have been the black sheep because i was ALWAYS GETTING IN TROUBLE AND DOING EXACTLY what mom told me not to .;)
