What was your favorite childhood toy?
My E.T. doll, hands down. I loved that thing to death. In fact, I loved it so hard its skin has been rubbed away, its eyes have gone murky, and it has band-aids on its wrists, a pencil inside its neck (to keep the head up), and a handmade scarf / neck brace to keep it all together. E.T. still holds a place of honor in my bedroom.
