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

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...
 
a dog...........I was allergic............
 
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 ;)
 
I always wanted one of those little Barbie cars that you could drive in, but I never got one!

a big trampoline!
<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.
 
a big pool in the backyard. and i still want one but i don't want to take care of it.
 
Strawberry Shortcake dolls.....:D
 
A Evel Knievel (sp?) wind up toy that used to jump over stuff at least thats what the adverts on telly said ;)
 
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
 
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. :)
 
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:
 
I always wanted to have one of those Barbie houses with the elevator in the middle with the pulley.
