5. Power Wheels

If you had a Power Wheels as a kid you were so lucky and I am incredibly jealous of you. I remember my rich asshole next door neighbor used to drive over in his stupid miniature Jeep like it was no big deal, while the rest of us were gaping at him like he was covered in diamonds. We wanted what he had, and he knew he was easily the coolest kid on the street, but he kept trying to play it off. Oh, except when one of us would be like “Can I drive it?” Then it was “Oh, no, my dad doesn’t want me to get it messed up.” Right, he just didn’t want to share in the glory. We got it. To this day, my dream is to get a Barbie Power Wheels convertible and roll up to whatever crappy apartment he lives in now and be like “Beep, beep, motherf-cker. Oh, sorry, can’t share, my mom doesn’t want me to scratch it.”

laughed out loud at this article.

When I was little I made my parents get me an easy bake oven. I had no hangups about the fact that it was apparently for girls. To me, if you denied the goodness that could come from that pink and white oven, you were an idiot. “GI Joe can wait, I’m fucking baking, get on my level,” I think is how I used to put it : )

#easy bake oven #get on my level

“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.” —Pablo Picasso (via copewithgrief)
