As we have all grown up, life has a way of throwing a wrench into things.
I just wanted to ask, what was your favorite present from childhood?
Im not asking which was the most expensive, I just want to know which was the most memorable.
For me, it would be a rock.
My parents bought a bunch of presents, but my brothers and I were given a calming/worry stone where we could rub our thumbs on.
For some reason, I keep thinking of this stone often.
Eventually I used it so much, and dropped it accidently.
Such is life.
What are your presents you think about now that you have grown up?

I remember getting an Optimus Prime transformer and thinking that was pretty cool....
I also remember seeing my parents putting the christmas gifts under the tree while my brothers and sisters were waiting in the car to go to church....(I can picture this moment like it happened yesterday)....I felt as if I had the rug pulled out from under me...because obviously I did....
My parents had been lying to me, while waiting to bring me to a place were people preach about truth, honesty, integrity.... LOL
This was definately the greatest "Gift" I could have received looking back on it but back then....it was just to much to reconcile

Gosh, you are asking a tough one, it was so long ago!!
I got a microscope with a bunch of samples and things to grow microfauna.
I spent hours with my brothers fiddling with water and growing microscopic animals.
We just could not get enough of it.

When I was young I had a huge collection of wrestling action figures.
I used to play with them on the floor of my room so one year my grandfather who loved to build things built me my own wrestling ring.
That was a super cool and thoughtful gift.

I remember one of my friends was into WWE.
He got very upset when someone told him it was fake.

Haha yeah I could see that. Wrestling fans back in the day were very adamant that wrestling was real.

When I was youg I wanted a He-Man Slime pit more than anything. I BEGGED my parents for that thing. After opening all my presents, I thought that I didn't get it, but my dad said he found one more present that Santa must have dropped on the porch.
That toy came out in 1986, and it's still a really great memory for me.

Honestly I don't know. I'm in my 40's now so I haven't kept up with it. 😁
