Since the holidays have a way of bringing out the kid in all of us, what toy, game, cartoon character, etc, from your childhood have you never outgrown? Serious is good. Silly is better

Don't be shy!

me--I'm 35 and have NEVER outgrown my love of Hello Kitty. I really had to exercise restraint the other day when I saw a mini "Hello Kitty" figurine necklace. Talked myself out of it b/c I'd probably never wear it as a necklace, but totally just wanted the little figurine to set on my desk. But the next time I see the Hello Kitty waffle iron in a store, I might not be able to do the same.... and watch out--they actually make a Hello Kitty bowling ball! It's actually pretty awesome!

Ok....so who's next to own up to their inner child?

I'm nearly 10 years older. I still enjoy playing with Lego. And what is worse, I even make presents of it to my children so we can play together.

Computers.... I started playing with them at 11 years old. Maybe that's why I love my work (computer stuff) so much!

Care Bears!
Plush toys and all other stuff.
Oh dear, Wish Bear, Tenderheart Bear, Grumpy bear.. I mean all of them!

Hmmm - good point. Does a TI-58C count as a computer?

The TI-58C counts as a doorstop.... j/k :-), of course it counts!!

Then add it (and its more evolved - and more frustrating) relatives to the Lego bill...

I love Teddy Bears. I have a curio cabinet filled with them. I know most people put figures and stuff but I just love my bears. If I see an old worn out one I have to have it to save it:) My husband sees the old ones as junk but I see them as beautiful and well loved. I have collected bears from all around the world and they bring me back to my travels.

That's very sweet, maude I always say "well loved" too, when I see worn-out toys and such...cuz that's how they got that way!

Somewhere, I have a "well loved" (and probably well neglected at this point. oops) Cabbage Patch doll. Well, two actually. a regular and a preemie. I still remember their names. Bethany Serena and Delora Teena. (and yes, they're the names that they came with). Funny the things that stick with us!
