So the other day I was digging out our composter and I found a Lando Calrissian action figure.  What a strange thing to find I thought.  Some kid lost this and might have been sad to have never seen it again.  Or maybe a sibling hid it in order to get revenge for something.  But what really sparked in my head was toys that I’ve lost when I was younger.

I kept my toys in excellent condition and always made sure I got them all back and in order when I was playing with them.  But some did escape me.  I remember I was in a park one day, I was about 4, and I was playing on the top of a slide with my Dukes of Hazard toy cars.  My Boss Hog car went over the edge and fell to the ground.  I went to go get it but I couldn’t find it.  I couldn’t under stand how it could have disappeared and I searched that grass for a long time before I gave up.  Another time I lost the plastic rider of a motorbike over the edge of a pier one summer.  It was too deep to get it although my older cousins did try for me.  That bike with remain riderless for the rest of it’s days…

Did you lose any toys during your childhood?  Did you ever get any of those toys back?

Note – I’ll be gone until Sunday so no posts till then ^_^
