Favorite Toy

Did you have a favorite toy that you saved your money up to buy? 

I remember really wanting a skip it when I was about to turn 8.  I asked for one for my birthday, and when I didn't get it.  I was so upset and saved my birthday money and did extra work around the house to get it.  A couple weeks later I went to K-mart and bought a yellow skip it.  (They only had yellow and pink.  I HATED pink when I was yonger.)  I remember being really excited about it.   Literally a few minutes after we pull up the drive way, my grandmother who missed my birthday came over.  Her present to me, a pink skip it.  Needless to say, at first I was disappointed because now I had two skip its.  What was I supposed to do with that?  To be honest though when my friends came over it was nice to have two of them.    I'm glad that skip its are still around. My cousin who's 10 now has one too.   Yes, I played with it, lol.

For those of you who don't know what a skip it is.  Watch the video below, they are so much fun.

TURBO

Power Rangers Turbo.  I remember the excitement I had when I first saw the trailer on tv. "OMG!  Jason and Kimberly are back!"  I remember when we got done watching the movie how awesome it was.  Rocky was finally gone, they had a female pirate for their new enemy, they had awesome car zords.  Then I watched it not to long ago and realized that it sucks butt!  It is complete crap, the little kid was annoying.  Dinosaurs are way cooler than cars. The only cool part, for me, was that Jason and Kimberly came back.  I still like this movie better than the first. (My personal opinion)

Here's a funny anecdote. I saw this in the movie theatre, during spring break.  My younger sister and I begged our grandma to take us to it.  Luckily our spring break was a week before the city kids, so the theatre was pretty empty.  Except for a handful of kids around our age.  We acted like we weren't seeing power rangers, and so did all the other kids. But what was funny was that we ALL ended up seeing the Power Rangers movie.
