Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along; cue the Mission: Impossible! music!):
(1) Jen on Auntie Jen's Family Trees posted "Throwback Thursday Favorite Toys" on 23 January, and Linda S. thought it would make a good SNGF topic. I agree!
(2) What are some (one or more) of the toys you played with as a child?
(3) Share your favorite toy(s) with us in your own blog post, in a comment on this blog post, or in a Facebook message. Please leave a comment on this blog noting where your conjectures are located.
Thank you, Jen, for the idea.
The only toy I remember playing with as a child is my Barbie dolls. I didn't have an original model Barbie (not old enough), but I had Barbie, Stacey (I can always remember her because my sister's name is Stacy), and I think Midge. If it wasn't Midge then it was Francie. I had a few of the clothes you could purchase, but I learned to sew at a young age and made more clothes for them. I know I still have Stacey and I think the others. They're in storage right now, so I can't get to them.
Other than that, I played games with my brother and sister. We played a lot of cards, especially poker and pinochle, and Monopoly, which my brother almost always won.
Barbie was certainly a staple for little girls our age, wasn't she? I think Midge might be one of the dolls' names, too. A friend had several of the set,including Ken, but I only had Barbie.
ReplyDeleteMidge is definitely one of the dolls, I'm just not 100% sure that's the one I had. And sometime later I think I had a Skipper. I still love my dolls!
DeleteOur favorite games were Monopoly and Clue.
ReplyDeleteWe might have had Clue. I remember Masterpiece. We also played a lot of chess, which my brother won most of the time, just like Monopoly.
