Memory.

1972-1982 (?)

Things I wished I had:

• Meccano set



• Sit and Spin



• Rocking horse



• Chemistry set



• Model cars

Things I had, and their fates:

• Lite Brite (disappeared during a move)



• Barbies, some interesting (Mod Ken, some Barbie sister that grew taller and more, um, mature-looking when you pumped her arm). Given to little cousins who immediately tore off their heads.



• Lego. Not as interesting to me as the longed-after Meccano set. Probably given to twin Little Cousins of Doom.



• Both an Easy Bake oven and a Holly Hobby oven. Fates unknown. Holly Hobby oven worked better.
