Childhood Toys

I was watching cartoons this morning with my young one while we were having Cheerios and we're watching these commercials intended for the younger audience, you know. I see they still have the girls with their babies that pee and you got these 5yr old girls training to be mothers LOL. I also saw that for the boys it's just full out action and helicopters with bazookas attached to 'em. Or they have the super cool lookin' designs on the vehicles and u see 'em goin' over mountains and hills. Whereas there's these ugly dolls that are surrounded by 3yr old girls dying their hair a diff color one strand at a time.

Being a boy is much cooler lol.

My mom told me the other day that I used to play with dolls and I was in shock! I remember playing with the Hot Wheels toys from McDonald's AND I SPECIFICALLY remember this ass whoopin' my mother gave me when I was 8 and she caught me cutting one of my dolls' hair n flushing it down the toilet. I don't remember actually enjoying and playing with them!! I remember coloring their faces with marker and with the dolls that had moving eyes [you'd lay them down, eyes would close, sit 'em up and their eyes would open] I would poke their eye until it would break or pop through.

HOWEVER. I do remember appreciating and loving this Polly Pocket heart shaped pink box that opened down the middle and it had little people and inside was their home. And omg. I need to look for it online. I want to get myself this for Christmas.

Do u remember a very special toy you used to play with?? Tell me about it.
