Well, I wasn't really sneaking. I just didn't know what the place was, but they had something near the front I wanted to look at (probably to do with Star Wars), and I walked in. It was all dark and stuff, like going into a dungeon or a haunted house. As it happens, my mom came by looking for me or something just after I'd crossed the threshold... It was made clear to me that I was never again to put even a toe into that store. It was a place of EVIL! With Star Wars.<br /><br />I guess even EVIL likes Star Wars.<br /><br />Jessica: I was never into clothes. I do remember, though, when IZOD became this huge deal around the time of middle school and everyone (but me) had to have IZOD shirts. I think that set me against that kind of thing early on.<br /><br />Of course, when I was in high school, I made the mistake of saying something about liking Bugle Boy shirts in the presence of my mom. After that, every time she went to the store, she came home with Bugle Boy shirts for me.<br /><br />You can't build a log cabin with anything other than Lincoln Logs.

It's so ...Yep, TONS of cool options these days. It's so funny how picky my 16 year-old stepson is. He's sooooo particular about his brands and t-shirts. I don't remember being into clothes at all and I was lucky enough to grow up in a time when baggier stuff was fine to wear. I even wore sweatshirt/sweatpant combos in high school. I would not do well with the skinny jeans and short shorts worn by today's highschoolers. But yes, there are plenty of ways to express yourself :) And you are SO right about LEGOS. Those sets they sell are amazing. Then again, my 5YO also loves her "retro" set of Lincoln Logs, which is comforting somehow.Jessica Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916560941871741885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-86206634220070055212014-08-26T05:26:06.604-07:002014-08-26T05:26:06.604-07:00Life just keeps getting better. This reminded me ...Life just keeps getting better. This reminded me of when I wrote about "Superball Baseball" and noted that kids today can do all THAT stuff we used to do like Kick the Can, but they also can publish their own books and have amazing videogames and toys that can be actual robots that are remote controlled, etc. <br /><br />My favorite part of the boys' school shopping is that I get their old backpacks to use for work, so when they get their new ones I get to see what I will be wearing next year. Mr F got a Spider-Man backpack. I am so excited for June, 2015.<br /><br />And you are 100% right about those iron on shirts.<br /><br />AND: we used to sneak into Spencer's Gifts at the mall while my Mom was at JCPenney. That was what kids did before the Internet: sneak into Spencer's Gifts and look at the heavy metal posters.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-28851730686759905872014-08-25T13:05:26.212-07:002014-08-25T13:05:26.212-07:00TAS: The great thing is that space and castle stuf...TAS: The great thing is that space and castle stuff is still available, so everyone can get what they want!<br /><br />Rusty: I also had Spider-Man.<br /><br />Alex: Hey, Underoos were cool!<br />And I get that about band t-shirts, but I'm glad they sold U2 t-shirts at stores, because I've never been able to go to one of their concerts.<br /><br />Michael: It's so true.

Then you could wear it to school and proudly tell the world you saw the concert. I won't scare you with how many concert t-shirts I own...Alex J.

That was one of my favorite parts of Montreal Comic-Con last year.<br /><br />Yes, there are more LEGOs these days but I loved the ones I had, back before they were licensed up the yin-yang.
