Grandmas must think alike. My two year old will have under the tree Christmas morning thanks to my parents.

LMAO - but, no, the toys when I was young were nowhere near as the cool stuff they have now.

Mikey, mikey, mikey... You know that you're not supposed to be looking at high school girls.

(but, yes, they definitely are)

But, they were far more durable. My tonka was made out of steel. Then, Ertle come along and toys all went to hell.

And, as to the girls in high school...
Sorry. They have no idea how to look hot.
No... I won't say what they look like.
Hot is not it... And "cool" isn't it either.

I remember when I was young that I would ride my Tonka truck on my neighbors driveway. It was a nice little hill and about 600 or so feet long. I'm guessing that the slope was probably in the 5-6% range. The problem was the turn at the bottom, which Tonka's definitely can't take. When you shot through the turn there was a nice little straight drop-off to the street below.

If you let a kid do that now you'd probably spend 20 to life in prison.
