What ***fun*** stuff did you ask for as a kid but your parents flat out refused?
Not talking about anything odd, or stuff they simply couldn’t afford – stuff that was a fairly reasonable request and lots of kids had, but your parents refused.
For me –
\* Trainers that lit up
\* Mr Frosty
\* Operation
\* One of those red and yellow car thingies
I’m still mildly upset about the trainers decades later and now hate seeing kids wearing Heelies as I get a little jealous.
It wasn’t even a safety thing as they bought me Buckaroo (lawsuit waiting to happen), I had rollerskates/rollerblades, and they let me use really cheap “makeup” as a little kid…
Bonus question: Did you buy any of it as an adult just because you could? I think my love of shoes stems from not being allowed those trainers, and now I can buy whatever shoes I want 🙂
