Yeah, my parents packed up all the toys from when we were kids. They're saving them until they have grandchildren to disperse them to... :-)

Gotta love the parents!

I think the poll options need "divorced parents" added, as that's when my, and my 3 brothers, better toys finally disappeared . . . when they were fightin' over garbage.

I pretty much kept my toys under control most of the time. I liked to destroy my toys slowly. I once had a white power ranger plush doll/pillow and I was throwing it up in the air, and it fell in a torch lamp and it lit the power ranger on fire.

but they're all gone now. my parents thew them out when I stopped paying attention to them. I didn't even notice.

Nope don't have a one. Along with the usual Hot Wheels and sports shit, my favorite was a Jame Bond 007 attache case. Man I had the best time with that crap. Invisible pen, xray glasses, shoot bullets, fecking awsome. I wish I still had it. Actually, I wish I had all my Hot Wheels, they don't make them like they used to and don't have the same fecking cool models. Speaking of models, I was heavy into that too building them and then blowing them up or some shit. I actually got two of those left. A 55 Chevy and a Pontiac Lemans SS. Sneaked some glue fumes occasionally. lol

Why I Can Not Remember My Childhood

Few things exist
When was the wonder lust
Chocolate chip cookies
Who am I to trust

I see this war on a playground
On the slide a kiss
Imagination alive
I remember how long I’ll miss this kiss

Your name my mind
I had an angel
I forgot who
Innocence was lost

I knew no other way
We cannot stay
I don’t know the reasons
I want to forget
I was always misunderstood
I want to remember my childhood

when you were a child and your toy box would get over full (hopefully it did) what did you have to do with your toys? did you have to toss them? pack them up and store them? give them to siblings? pile them in the corner. just wondering. :mrgreen:



please discuss.



i have none of mine. my mom might have something hidden away but it more a momento now then a toy. we have ALL of my sons stuff boxed and stored. we have a full sized moving box full of wind-up toys alone. :blsmoke:


I only have one teddy bear from my childhood, my very first and favorite one. He is in a box in the basement now. I do wish I had more of my childhood toys.

As for my daughter, I hear you on the amount of toys that build up. I do wonder what my parents did with them all. Did we have as many as our children do? I am sure I didn't have as many as my daughter does.
I used to store some of her toys away then bring out those ones and take some others away. Kind of like news toys to her every month or so, lol. I have given some to family and friends with children along the way etc. I also donate them to shelters along with clothing. Some we keep in rubbermaid bins. She has a few of them just with stuffed animals alone. A few others with wind up small toys and such. I don't know what we will do with them, but we have managed to keep it to a few bins and a toy box full with going through them regularly. :mrgreen::peace:bongsmilie

Most of the toys from my childhood just got lost or worn out, but there were a few things we specifically kept, and as for those things, I can relate to TodayIsAGreenday and NG

all my child hood memories were siezed by the company that owned the stoarage locker they were being kept in when my at that time step father got arrested for tax fraud and credit scams


i would love too be able to see all my old toys and books and im sure theres plenty of stuff that i had that i cant remember i had but if i saw it i would be like WHOOOOA I REMEMBER THIS!
I can't even remember my childhood just small parts of it but for the most part I draw a blank when I try to remember. I know it was stressful and I had toys but I don't have any of them left. I have lost everything I own twice so far, I've only been able to hold onto a few things. They are my music, ,my guitar, grow equipment, my backpacking stuff, my two hand made japanese chef knifes, and my surfboard. I guess I am a traveling, weed growing,surfer, chef, music lover! :mrgreen:
Everything is always changing I'm just trying to go with the flow . . .
My family ended up having to move when I was almost 18, everything went into storage. Things didn't work out the way they were supposed to, and my parents lost their storage, along with all our stuff in it.

I miss my stuff.


haha no doubt, i would try to blow mine up with fireworks.:mrgreen:
That's how many a Barbie met her end. That or we strung her up from a tree as a witch :grin:

Yeah I have lost nice stuff enough times to be cool with it, now I'm totally un-attached to my current stuff. It's kind of awesome to not be so obsessed with material things anymore. I gave a diamond engagement ring as a tip once:mrgreen: I guess things never work out the way they are supposed to. :lol: I wish more people would just smoke weed and chill on making money and getting more stuff:roll:bongsmiliebongsmilie:eyesmoke:

I had a strong imagination and a poor upbringing so I had to play with anything and everything as a toy. You would all be surprised at what could pass for a doll/action figure in my head.:-P lol

I still get attached to things, I guess now I just realize I don't really need them. I like having them though.
my wife gets attached to things but we are working on letting go of some of them. you wouldnt believe the clutter when she saves everything from movie stubs from when we first started going out, to christmas cards and shit from ten years ago lol.:roll::mrgreen:
