When you were a child, did you have a little red wagon? Do your children have one now. When I was a little girl, my two older sisters and I had a little red wagon. We would put our dolls in there and ride them around the neighborhood. Sometimes, we would ride around and collect things like rocks and leaves and different things that looked interesting to us.
The most fun though, was pulling each other around in it. I was always afraid that I was going to fall back and hit my head, so although I was the youngest, I did most of the pulling. As I got a little older, I like riding in it more.

OOOOOOOh, this is very sad, I am sorry to hear this. Kids have a great imagination though, so I know that you found something fun to play with. Most kids don't recognize a toy when they see one anyway. You go out and spend all that money on an expensive toy and the kid sits there and plays with the box it came in.
I don't know about you, but it makes me want to take the box and the toy back to the store for a refund. I hope you had a fun childhood in spite of no toys.

Yup inspite of the lack of toys, I know I had a good upbringing and because there were five of us it was hard for my parents to buy things, but thats ok. We often played outside with our neighbors toys all the time. Most christmas's we got clothes and or earings or family games like Monopoly and sorts.
Oh and marbles, for some reason I really liked playing marbles and I'm not sure why but I was fascinated with them LOL
My parents did take us out once a week for takeout like fish n chips, pizza, KFC, MacD's so we always looked forward to that.

Yes, when we were kids, my brother and I did have a little red wagon. Now my grandsons have one too though they don't play with it all that often.

Yep, I had one, we lived on a hill so the daredevil I was used to ride it down. When I got older I made a harness and hooked it to my dog and had her pull it around..lol. She was the kind of dog that pulls sleds around so don't worry, I wasn't abusing her.

Yes we had one when we were littler. I remember playing with it all the time. My dad use to pull us around in it. Now my son has one, he likes it, but does not play with it as much I did when I was little. He is now just learning to ride his bike really good. He rides all the time now.
