My parents abused me

[yvr girl]

I didn't have ANY Lego and they wouldn't give me a twin for Christmas.

1. My parents abused me also!

We never had cable, and they didn't buy me a car when I turned 16!

7. Any "Lego"? You're going by the code, obviously.

The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you! Susan Williams, Consumer Services.

8. Well, talk to me when

You wear long sleeves in September in Texas so that the bruises on your arms can't be seen.

Talk to me when you're black and blue from the back of your neck to your ankles.


Sorry, I know you were trying to be funny, but I'm just not laughing.

[yvr girl]

10. I'm sorry

That's terrible what happened to you.

This is a lounge post though...

[Not_Giving_Up]

12. I know it's the Lounge

I'm worn out from not sleeping...trying to keep up with Crawford happenings, wishing I was there.

I guess I'm a little bit irritable tonight. Just wasn't amused.

18. The opposite of my parents....

....who allowed my brother to set up his Lego village on tables all over the living room for over two years.

21. Reminds me of an old Dennis The Menace cartoon

It was a famous comic strip drawing showing him beside the Christmas tree on Christmas Day, waist deep in an ocean of opened presents of toys-upon-toys and saying to his parents "Is This All?"

[yvr girl]

22. I didn't have a lot of toys

I mostly played with my stuffed animals.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. Sorry, I guess I misjudged - But aren't stuffed animals considered toys?

Or did you mean perhaps that your father was a taxidermist?

[yvr girl]

24. I didn't say I didn't have ANY toys

But I didn't have a lot of them. One doll, an Easy-Bake-Oven, a few stuffed animals a slinky.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I used my imagination.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. I'm just teasing you

I remember hearing science fiction author Harlan Ellison say on the radio that even though he's Jewish, his family celebrated Christmas, and that for Christmas he got phlegm and that's it.

26. OMG no lego?

You poor, poor thing! :hug:
