*WARNING: Santa Spoiler*

There was ONE item that you wanted when you were a youth.  
What was it? 
You know, the one your begged and pleaded for. 
The one you sold your soul for? 
 Show us a pic if you can and tell us a story about how you got it. 
You know how this works! 
Write us a post. 
Come back Monday March 22nd and Link up with us ! 


The year was nineteen ninety-three; the holiday was Christmas; on the wish list was Mall Madness.

 
Oh how I wished to swipe that playful plastic. Shop those sales and grab that cash!
Did it happen?

Nope, not in 1993.

1994? No.

1995? Negative.

1996? Bingo!

I remember searching through the cedar closet for something.


There in the middle of Santa's loot, stood Mall Madness. 

Mall Madness?!?!

I was so upset that I went and told my mom that I had found it.
To which she replied, "I thought you wanted Mall Madness!"
"Umm...yeah...Three years ago!"


I wasn't interested in make-believe shopping. 

I was interested in shopping for real!

Well, needless to say, I didn't let collect dust.
I did get some playing time anyway.

Oh how I remember having to place those gold stickers on the electronic part when I first opened it. 


I feel so bad about that now because she always works so hard getting us things that we like and want. :(

  2. I've never seen this game before ... where have I been? I was way into Life ... getting married, having kids, choosing a career, ... but this looks like a game I would prefer, especially now that I have all those other things IRL. I could use a little mall escape from reality :)
