I’ve gotten all of them I wanted. That’s what adulting is! Of course C. Jung said it better… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/2/d/22d3628bf206975ba0a619abba76a825bcd5615f.jpeg) Passion aka desire. Mine was a fast and competition worthy R/C car! I’ve had several now. I’ve placed on podiums with them too. From buggies, to truggies, to monster trucks. It’s all kid fun! ---

It’s the fun stuff like that, that’s really worth having. Now buy a cheap stand and put it on display in the living room. And then cover it with yoyo stickers. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/0/d/80d407eb83c9bfbfa563083bf68ab57a946774da.jpeg) ---

Not exactly what I didn’t get but there were several things I wanted as a kid that ended up being the big surprise either for birthday or Christmas… The Gameboy - my sister got one a little while before I got one. I played hers and really wanted one of my own as it was quite the upgrade from those Tiger handhelds I’d occasionally get. One Christmas (1993) I got my own Gameboy with Home Alone, Batman, Burgertime Deluxe, and Sneaky Snakes. I still have that Gameboy today with those games. Rollerblades - as a kid I had those Fisher Price “over the shoe” roller skates with the noisy and slippery plastic orange wheels. One birthday I got a pair of regular quads with actual rolling wheels/bearings. Nothing high end but for a kid, it was a huge upgrade. Of course, growing up, they eventually got too small. I then saw that rollerblades were a thing. My sister who had also recently outgrew her skates got a pair of blades. I tried them on and found myself stable enough on them that I ended up bugging my parents to get some. Eventually got them for either Christmas or a birthday. Again, quite the upgrade. The last big highlight for me was getting a Talk Boy - that tape recorder as seen in Home Alone 2. Home Alone 2 was a childhood favorite (along with the original) and today, they become an annual movie to watch every holiday season. As a kid, I watched them year round, knew practically every line in that movie. Naturally, the Talk Boy was a must. Ended up getting it for the birthday and not long after, I was on the road to annoying my sister by sneaking up and recording her and speeding up the pitch of her voice after. ---
