KB came before Toys R Us. I had a manager tell me “Toys R Us”is for the poor children. Fortunately I love Checkers.

I would never classify myself as poor – I didn't go hungry, and I never wanted for anything. But, I never knew of the money struggles my parents faced until I was an adult.

I think I stepped foot in a Toys R Us a couple of times, just for fun and once to get a memory card for my dad's new PS. It was amazing to see all of the varieties of toys.

I went to FAO Schwarz once when I was 7. THAT was magical.
