It's funny that you say that. I had friends who lived miles away and we went back and forth no problem. My son is too lazy I guess, he thinks one mile is too far! He says that I am crazy and that no one can do it. Back then we did if we wanted to see a friend. My parents bought me a bike instead of being my chauffer. Those were the days!

This thread makes me think of that island of misfit toys that no one wanted in Rudolph the Red Nosed Rain Deer. One favorite toy and the rest get left behind.

Lego's were really expensive even when I was a kid.

I used to play with them constantly though. I bought a bunch of those flat 12" x
12" boards with the roads on them so I could build little lego cities and drive my matchbox cars through them.

I even remember telling my Mom once that I would NEVER stop playing with legos. She assured me I'd grow out of them, but one day I saw a story on the news about some old guy that had built a whole town in his basement out of lego's and had a HO Train system running through it. I told her THAT was gonna be me one day.

My favorite toy was the "knockers". Two hard plastic balls on a string and you move them up and down and they smack together abover and below your hand and make a loud sound. Used to do them for hours.

"When I was a little bitty boy, my grandmother bought me a cute little toy, silver balls hanging on a string, she told me it was my ding-a-ling a-ling. Oh my ding-a-ling, Oh my ding-a-ling........." (sorry but that song just came into my head)

Shout out for our bikes! My uncle was a machinist for Schwinn so I always had a good bike. That truly was freedom. I only stopped using the bike when I got my drivers license. I am proud to say that I am still riding my Schwinn Continental 10 speed (w/ ram horn handle bars, of course), and my daughters both learned to ride on my Sting Ray, still works.
