I had a friend who, along with her four sisters, found a dead woodchuck on the side of the road and dressed it up in their doll's clothes. They called it their baby and carried it around with them for the better part of a day. When their mother found out, she freaked.

I'm still laughing about that, even as I type this.

I had completely forgotten the lemon twist thing! I had one too. I had Barbies and a GI Joe too, but I grew out of playing with them very early. Baby dolls always scared me. I loved Lincoln Logs, my bike (we lived in the country and I rode mostly on grass -- ouch!), plush Disney toys, and the Best of the West action figures and horses (which I still have).

I got a fake Cabbage Patch doll as well. My parents must have been cheap bastards.

Loved Barbies. And legos.

TMNT! I had at least 70 of these figures, plus the Technodrome, Turtle Blimp, Turtle Van, ect! Those were probably my favorite toys as a child.

Other toys that were up there was Jurassic Park and the JP Headquarters, ooh and Ghostbuster toys and they strap on Protopacks with the guns that made the sounds!

"Shit on a stick" is what I used to call my one legged boss back in 1985. No joke. He had a peg leg.

Dog shit on a stick was always a fav toy. Chasing the various neighborhood pals as "the cocky monster" provided good times and healthy cardio in the form of running, etc.

Kids are lazy these days.

You are bringing back too many memories! I had one of those lemon things and tons of barbies. I had the big townhouse with the pink elevator with the string to make it go up and down. I loved light bright and would display my art on the kitchen table. My mother would always walk by and unplug it and I'd run out and plug it in again so everyone could see it until she went to get another gin and tonic and unplugged it again. We had the gold drapes in our living room too.

But I...

I had a Chrissy doll too!

When I began babysitting, I made clothes for my Chrissy doll, and took the doll and clothes with me when I babysat a little girl.

I was big on dolls, baby beans and another that drank then pissed herself were my favorites and then Holly Hobby was there but she didn't do shit.
The light bright was fun till my brother melted the pieces into a clump. I had a teddy bear to that died in a house flood, it floated out and I knew my childhood had just died.

WHY SUZY? WHY?

The Fischer Price stuff was the best. I had a huge city block type thing that was my favo. It had the car shop where you had to crank the car up, the post office, the barbershop, etc.

I begged for a cabbage patch doll the year moms were killing each other for them. I think the only present on my santa list that year was a black cabbage patch doll. My Mom found a lady who made pantyhose dolls that were cabbage patch "like". So I got a black pantyhose doll instead that...

I was looking through old photo albums with my mother and found a bunch of me playing with some of my favorite toys. I had Rock 'em' Sock 'em Robots, Legos, a chemistry kit (where I learned how to make a stink bomb with a pea-sized piece of wax and sulfur in a test tube) and this huge magic set by Mr. Blackwell or Harry Blackwell (I forgot the actual name) but it had a huge plastic top hat with a load of secret compartments to pull out balls and a fake bunny rabbit.
