Not sure. I would usually end up getting what I wanted for Christmas or my birthday as long as my request was within reason.
What did you get and wore out, or lost pieces to?
Games, puzzles, legos, play sets, Barbie stuff.
Bonus Question(s): What would you rather play, or do you like them all?

All of them I guess. Not sure about the role playing games. When I was a teenager,
my nerdy boss at the toy store, who was only a few years older than me, asked me over to play Dugeons and Dragons with him and his friends. I declined. I just thought it seemed weird.

Computer issues...ugh! Let's see if I can get through this today better than I did yesterday; my browser crashed four times while I was in the middle of answering Pam's Qs! Had to start over every single time.
