Children's Laughter

As a child I played with a great deal of things. With my sister I played with action figures, mostly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while she played with Barbie dolls. We would create little societies and call what we did "Little People". I also love to play with my bicycle quite a lot. During the winter when the weather was crumby, and I hate winter, I would play on my Nintendo Entertainment System. This held quite a big portion of my attention even throughout the year. I also loved to play with matchbox cars. I had about 100 of those little things and would bring them over to my best friends house and we would sit there and just drive around for hours and hours.

The one thing I did, however, play with the most was Lego building blocks. I would create things for hours and have friends come over with their Lego sets and we would build, imagine and play. This was quite a wonderful time in my life. I think it has reflected onto who I am today because I still love to invent, imagine and build things. The matchbox cars held a place in my world as well. I now have a great interest in vehicles of all sorts and love to work on them to make them unique to me. This trait I have is most likely a result of the years playing with Legos and matchbox cars.
