I saw the commercials (you know, the ones that they still play every year at Christmastime), saw the magical goo grow into beautiful green hair on that schmucky clay face, and I was in love. I wanted the sheep, the one where the alfalfa grows into "wool". I asked for a Chia Pet from the time I was 5 until I was 18, and I never got one. <br /><br />A few years ago, my "uncle" Bun gave me and my little brother Christmas presents for the first time. He's a retired biker/drunk driver, and it was probably the first time he'd ever had enough money to spare on the holidays. I took the present dubiously, unsure of what he'd have bought a 20-year-old who wasn't really his niece, just the daughter of his high school buddy. Lo and behold, it's a Chia Pet. It wasn't the sheep, it was the clown--but still, it's got to be the best Christmas present I've ever gotten. Completely unexpected, and completely what I'd always wanted. <br /><br />I never grew it, I think it's still in a box somewhere; it's a little bit too sweet to actually cover in the goop and grow, you know? <br /><br />I'm sure there are more presents that never came, but that's the one that always sticks out in my mind as "the one that got away". But then again, you know what they say, "If you love something, set it free.. blah blah blah." <br /><br />Wow, that's long and cheesy enough to put on my own blog. I think I will. Thanks for reminding me. :)Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230125720862676911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-1103224253282198132004-12-16T14:10:00.000-05:002004-12-16T14:10:00.000-05:00LEGOS...I always wanted legos.

You know the kind you can probably pick up at the Dollar Store that bust everytime you pull them apart. I never got real Legos, unless they came in a McDonald's Happy Meal that is.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277601176571470952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-1103209528907847682004-12-16T10:05:00.000-05:002004-12-16T10:05:00.000-05:00Jay - What great memories of time with your mom. ...Jay - What great memories of time with your mom. It's so great to be able to share things with her and pass them on to Jason. Maybe you'll do the same thing with the next generation. And I read about your love story. Wow - I can't imagine. Must be awesome. And for Citygirl - I too would be married to a gay man if you married at that age.

One thing was missing; a slingshot. Then dad brought one home, all wrapped in hard clear plastic. Hot doggidy, it was Christmas in July, until I opened the package and laid it aside. Sitting on a cinder block wall while I ripped and tore, the new toy slipped and fell, and it clattered all the way to the bottom of a hole, never to be touched again. That ruint my life, and led my to write, I suppose. Anyone have a Kleenex? I have a speck in my eye, I think.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313556878709472843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769026.post-1103160810205901592004-12-15T20:33:00.000-05:002004-12-15T20:33:00.000-05:00I wanted the treetots amusement park and I didnt g...I wanted the treetots amusement park and I didnt get it......I did get alot of toys tho<br />here it is on ebay<br /> <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26category%3D19181%26item%3D5942638552%26rd%3D1">Tree tots Amusement Park</A>but it never comes with the people and they had a cat in this set that was named Pussy Willow and growing up that was the name of MY cat :) yes I was made fun for for the name, my mother named her.<br /><br />I still have the treehouse and all the treetot parts but I really wanted Pussy Willow the cat!!!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500099075947499387noreply@blogger.com
