Re: What toy did you ask Santa for as a kid?
What I really wanted and asked Santa to bring for the first 5-6 years was a baby brother. My mom was in her early-mid 40s, but that didn't mean anything to me. Among the more achieveable items for which I asked Santa were an erector set, a model train, and a bike, of course. Could you imagine the safety police if someone marketed an old fashioned erector set to kids today? Remember those really tiny pieces (read - swallowable) and the razor-sharp bars. And all my friends had or got American Flyer trains. I got a Lionel. Seemed really important at the time. :joke:
