Sierra Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Oh it was all harmless fun really. I had a doll that cried, and she annoyed me, so I surgically removed her voicebox and kept it on the side. With others I was just curious about how their legs would look coming out of their arm sockets and vice versa. Harmless fun? I once took a radio apart to see what was inside. I was disappointed, not much. Certainly not worth the spanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm going moan about the cheap alternatives to the trendy toy of the time that I often ended up with, I should be very grateful for the stuff my folks managed to get me, but some of the fails I feel guilty even mentioning because I had the proper action-man with eagle eyes and gripping hands, the chopper bike amongst many other fantastic Christmas prezzies, I did very well but my folks often took a very wise and pragmatic view on their purchases that saved them a fortune but cost me in self esteem. Instead of etch a sketch I had some crappy version that didn't quite work as well and was made of inferior plastic, the same with spirograph, swingball and loads of other stuff. I actually do feel guilty saying that because I never went without but sometimes, at that time I would have preferred nothing at all, my poor old folks just didn't get the brand thing and as an adult I'm totally with them on that but as an impressionable child I just wanted the stuff off the TV ads and the same as everyone else.

this_life Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The 'boys' in our house got remote control helicopters, last Christmas, no camera though. They were awesome. ---------- Post added 01-12-2012 at 19:10 ---------- We also had a Robotic arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBiz Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Harmless fun? . Yes, harmless fun. None of the dolls ever complained as I recall, and I've grown up unscathed. So all round a result I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
