Di, at Pensitivity101, is our host for Share Your World each week. Here are her questions for this week.

1. Regardless of whether you had them or not, can you remember three popular toys from when you were a child?

Hmm. This is tough thinking back six or seven decades to popular toys. I do remember liking to build things with Tinkertoys and Lincoln Logs. I also enjoyed playing with Silly Putty (which, if I recall correctly, came in plastic eggs) and Play-Doh. And who can forget Mr. Potato Head, Slinky, and the Hula Hoop! Toy cars, also. I loved playing with toy cars and trucks. And model airplane kits.

2. Did you ever want something specific as a child, but never had it?

This isn’t a toy, but I remember when Walt Disney opened Disneyland — I think it was in 1954 or 55 — and used to hawk it on his Walt Disney Presents TV show that I used to watch on Sunday nights. I wanted so bad to go to Disneyland, but we lived in Maryland at the time, and Disneyland was near Los Angeles. I begged my parents to take me to Disneyland but there was no way that they could afford it.

It wasn’t until more than a quarter of a century later, after my wife and I moved to Southern California, that we took our kids, who were 5 and 3, to Disneyland, that my dream to go to Disneyland finally came true.

3. Do you still have any toys or games from your childhood?

No, but my grandchildren have a number of them,

4. I think I’ve asked this before, but what was your favorite toy as a child?

Probably my Etch-a-Sketch. I used to spend hours with that thing. I wish we had digital photography back then so I could have taken pictures of some of the more elaborate sketches I painstakingly created.
