Exercise #15: "Kid Stuff"
Make a list of toys you had when you were a kid. Then, in the time remaining, give each one an adjective, a color, and a sound.

"Soft Classics," the stuffed dog whose brand name was Soft Classics. I read th
Bernard from Where the Wild Things Are. Matted fur (After being thrown into the washer so many times, his fur was never the same.), grey, animal growls.
Skip-It, the fun ankle game thingy. Entertaining, pink, plastic rolling against concrete.
Barbies. Irrational (I mean, seriously... No woman looks like that.), tan, giggles and scissor clipping (My sister and I frequently chopped the hair of our dolls in a futile attempt to style their hair.).
That's all I can think of at any rate. I mean, I had lots of toys, but there were a few of them that I absolutely loved. The main three were Soft Classics, Eeyore, and Bernard. I remember walking around the house with Soft Classics nearly glued to my hand. My dad gave him to me when I was little, when I had the chicken pocks. I remember lying on the couch, watching tv. When dad came home, he walked up to me, taking something out of a bag. And there was this fuzzy, grey, stuffed puppy. I loved him instantly. Even then I had a strong interest in animals - dogs specifically - so I was very excited. The sad part is that I can't find him anymore. I went away to school or camp or something, and when I came back Soft Classics was nowhere to be found. Sad day. I secretly think that he's hidden somewhere in my parents' house, hiding until they move out or something. Even today I miss him. He was great.
Well, that's it for my trip down Nostalgia Lane. I won't bore you any longer. :)
Peace and see you tomorrow!
