toys in cereal boxes.
back home we had little cars in the nesquick boxes, they were called "quickies".
quality. toys didnt' fall apart after three days of playing with them.
spending every free minute outside, rain or shine.
riding my bike everywhere.
falling asleep on the couch with my head on my mom's lap, pretty much the only good memory i have about my mom.
going swimming in the summer.
no cartoon channels on tv, just one or two select kid's shows every day.
Das Sandmaennchen every night before bed.

now i better stop thinking about the past, because now the bad stuff is coming up in my head.
