Toy Canon (Personal Blog Entry)

“My Little Pony” was never an interest of mine, but I still greatly appreciated the care and detail with which the author of this entry described the narrative of their childhood creativity. I envy their memory recall, and this post made me a bit wistful of my own childhood toys. This might be a bit different than most links shared here, but hopefully someone else enjoys it as much as I did.

This is completely adorable. I remember having stories about my toys as a child, but I’ll admit they were not as elaborate as this! It always amazes me how creative kids can be with their stories and toys.

My kid wasn’t into the ponies, but we did have bins full of different types of cars and vehicles. They would routinely have races and fights (did you know cars can punch each other?) across the house. I remember one in particular, when I realized they had been quiet for longer than normal, which to a parent usually means trouble, but discovered that an epic car fight had been going on across the rooms. I’m not sure what kicked it off, but it lasted hours!
