Those Nextel phones are a lot like walkie-talkies, you know. And us adults can use those!

Wow! As an American I find it interesting that you were intrigued by our walkie-talkies…..were you also interested in CB radio, perhaps?

Thanks for the memories….I had a walkie talkie. Rigged up a crude antenna with speaker wire and a clothes hanger on the roof and played Battleship with my friend down the street long after my mom told us to get to sleep.

Ooo, and when you went to school you were either a cheerleader or the cool geek who became friends with the popular people after the bullying Quarterback was pushed into the pool (after homecoming) by his head cheerleader (ex) girlfriend who then went out with you/ your best friend…

Ah, America, land of dreams…

It’s like me, reading about Turkish Delight in the Chronicles of Narnia and thinking about how awesome that sounded.

Yeah, childhood in America was just like that. It’s not all fun and games though, eventually we all have to grow up, buy a SUV and marry a supermodel.

as a child I really really wanted an easybake oven. Even in America we have a the bitter sting of deprived childhood ;)
