Question of the Day!

My favorite toys were building toys. LEGO is among them, although I didn't own any myself. I also played with dollhouses with abandon. And wooden blocks.

I had access to an amazing amount of expensive toys because my best friend's mom made her living by doing estate sales. She kept all the cool toys for her son and the two of us would play for hours after school. It was amazing. Because we were quite poor, my mom and I, yet I had this access to toys that even the rich kids could hardly afford in that amount. I mean, we had a LEGO tub filled with bricks that would have been large enough to fit the both of us.

We built whole cities and made whole lives in our imaginations. It all ended when he went to middle school. He is one year older than me. I went from best friend to play with daily to the annoying elementary school kid.

It's okay. I took my revenge by not dating him when we were adults. So there is that. Hahaha.
