lincoln logs, legos, and such

Kids these days don't know haw to have any fun. They just sit around playing video games and watching TV. They still might have toys, but not good ones. When I was a kid I used to play with real toys. We also used to play real games. I remember playing with lincoln logs and legos. What creativity they taught me. I remember playing cars for hours at a time. I had the little green army men and Transformers. I miss those. Especially the lincoln logs. Not only did we play with cooler toys, but we were much more active. My brother, friends, and I used to go down to the Forestdale school and play baseball every day of the summer. When I was young, all the neighborhood kids used to come out and play a big game of hide and go seek, tag, and such. Back when parents would say, "You come home, you stay home," so all the kids would stay outside playing until parents called us home for dinner. I guess I just feel bad for kids these days. They just sit in front of the idiot box all day long and are deprived of real fun. Meanwhile, I wish I could go back to those times of old again.

Ha ha Cassidy! I beat you today!

I loved lincoln logs. We used to build these houses and get he little green army men, cowboys and the indians and have wars. I think we even had cattle. I had the biggest barbie collection ever! We made mansions with legos. We had endless numbers of cars and had a name for all of them.

We played man hunt, tag, kick ball in the road, etc. It was no wonder I could eat ten lbs of food at a time and remain a twig.

Being a kid just isn't the same nowadays. I say that parents should give their children limited TV time and wait til they get to a certain age before introducing videos games and even then limit their use. Kids today are so out of shape and unmotivated to do anything. When I was a kid, gym was our easiest A.
