I was going through a couple boxes of my son's things (that I'm hauling up to his house by the truckload now that they have their own, big place!) And it got me thinking (oooh, don't you all hate it when I think??) about some of the toys we had when I was a kid.

Remember the paddle ball? The silly wooden paddle with the rubberband and ball on the end of it? That was a real brain stimulator, wasn't it? One, two, three...one, two...one, two, three, four...one, two.

We'd play with it about 5 times, then the rubberband would break, the ball would go rocketing across the room, break something, then we'd get a spanking with the paddle!!

GREAT TOY!

I'm sure there's more, but that was the first one that came to mind!
