How to I pick just one? My tastes changed with my age as well as my brother's age. I gotta say the one that seemed to outlast all the others was my collection of dressup clothes.
There were lots more including: legos, BOOKS, and a flag and flashlight.
From about 3rd grade on I read constantly. I almost failed our reading book reports in 6th grade because I decided I wanted to read my mom's collection of shakespeare plays and the teacher who listened to my verbal book reports didn't know them all that well. She would not believe that I had actually read them until my mom got the principal involved and he listened to my "reports". Finally they accepted them as legit books for me to read. For pitys sake I'd already read anything in my grade level that I could get my hands on. Every one of the boxcar children series that I could find.
The flag and flashlight were when my brother and I were older and free to stay up after dark in the summer. Our neighbor kids would all be knocking on our door around supper time or dusk. We'd head out with our flashlights and camo gear and the whole 2 residental blocks with their trees and bushes and houses was our light tag/capture the flag arena. That was a blast. It was the precurser for us to paintball. Awesome hot, sweaty, dirty, rough fun.
