My daughter has piles of comments, most of them are her pointing at a play set and saying "Remember when you let me play with that? Can I do it now?"

It's always five minutes until bedtime when she asks....

That is soooo cute!

Hey Brian...

Was this reply meant for this thread, or the one on the Buzz asking about what your kids/relatives say about your Megos?

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

^ Yes Sharry, great idea for a thread!

[HardyGirl]

I have really had the best time reading through these! Great idea for a thread (if I do say so myself! )

And I remember Gold Rush gum, but when I was in Kindergarten, I loved its sister, Love-Its gum. I used to save the sacks for my little toys, and I even put the sticker label on a jacket and called it my Love-Its jacket. I wouldn't let my mom wash it until the sticker fell off.

Anyway, back to the survey!
