I had a lot of favorites but the one that come to mind now is my pogo stick. I could lift it off the ground with just my feet and hop down the street, no hands!!!!! The last time I tried one it just went down and wouldn't move..............

OK, I'll confess......I had Barbie and Ken, Midge and the rest of the gang. The car (pink convertible....still have the box it came in), and every single outfit. My mom even made some outfits for Barbie....I still remember a skirt she made, with a little tiny pocket and about 1/2" of rickrack trimming it. The man who owned our little town's toy store (Harry's Toy Store) was the brother of Ross Bagdasarian (Alvin, Simon, and Theodore). A fellow Armenian, like my dad.
Every time there was a new Barbie something or other, Harry would call my dad and let him know....Dad would take us into town to get that (and usually something else....he couldn't say "I love you" but he was generous way past a fault....we were spoiled with stuff, but starved for a kind word or hug......same from Mom).
My sister called me one day to tell me her home had been robbed. So many of her nice things were gone (including ALL of her clothing). Then she told me "the Barbies" were gone. The whole shebang was in a wooden chest my grandpa (who died in the 1940's) had made. The thieves just picked up the chest and off they went. I was heartbroken....
