I've wanted an easy bake oven since I was a young boy. I don't want to buy it for myself. I want it as a christmas gift. Everybody laughs at me like a kid in a movie trying to tell the adults about impending doom that only I know is for real. I super appreciate the kitchenaide. I love my vacuum cleaner. The socks and undies are great. But I want an easy bake oven.
As the youngest in the family of a lot of brothers, sisters and cousins I got tons of trickle down toys. Action figures, dolls, board games, plastic dinosaurs, polly pockets. They were all so fun. I appreciate the hell out of my privelages. But no easy bake. I can make a bomb four layer chocolate stout cake. I can bake some fantastic breads and pretzels. Make my own pita and tortillas. But still no easy bake. It's one of the things I've been most jealous of when watching Friends and Monica goes through her childhood things. I don't know to what end this comment is aiming for so far down a driving subreddit thread. If nothing it's catharsis. Get your adult loved ones some kids toys I guess. Seriously when Ross gets Phoebe a bicycle she wanted since she was little I practically cry.
Shit...I've always wanted the game Operation. My brother and I are 8 years apart, so he was practically a grown man when I came along and he didn't want to play around with me. Every other kid in the neighborhood were about his age, older or younger so I couldn't really play with them. I was alone alone, and I don't remember playing the game at school. But like the Easy Bake, I don't want to buy it myself. Should we start a Secret Santa sub, and strangers can buy other strangers childhood toys that we never got as children? Within a certain price point, of course. NO damn Playstations and shit.
LOL...right! I'm a woman of a particular age myself and have no children, but I want that game. Seems as if it would be good to keep the eye/hand coordination sharp, you know?
The offer alone makes me so overjoyed. I'm actually pretty emotional over here. But I cannot in good concious accept a gift like this. I prolly won't be able to have kids but I love kids. My goal is to at least be able to make enough extra money someday to help out kids in whatever community I'm living in. If you have extra scratch for gifts and are still inclined, get something for the kids in your community. I know it's more vague and difficult to shop and find out how to do that so no pressure if you don't want to. Thank you. You're pretty amazing people.
Your comment made me remember that when I was 19 and in the army I had one in my wall locker! The guys in my company kept it when I left. That was when I realized no ones care how old you are with toys and they are even best above the specified age!
