I played with most of those even if I didn't actually get them (we weren't "poor" -- we were "Po'")...
The most vivid memory is induced by the hot-wheels track. Left red-hot welts on my legs and back when used for their alternate duty of administering an old-school whuppin' to some kid who apparently forgot his place...
Lotsa memories in that posting which brings me to this...have you ever been whipped with one of those orange race tracks? Shivers going down my legs now.
Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh do those things bring back memories.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool. I had most of those.
ReplyDeleteMemories are made of these.:)
ReplyDeleteHubby still has the Tinker Toys and the Lincoln Logs from his childhood :)

Dedicated Dad... yes the hotwheels track was a great weapon of choice for smacking a misbehaving child.
ReplyDeleteMaybe instead of time-outs and ADHD meds we should sell the tracks as a disciplinary tool :)hahhahaha
