The one toy you wanted but never got - Perfection board game (where you have to put the shapes in before the base pops up and they all fly out), Operation board game
fears - the dark. All creepy crawly things. Snakes. I used to have to pull my bed apart and shine a flashlight in all the corners to make sure that spiders and snakes were not hiding in my bed. Then I would re-make the bed and get in. I used to keep a flashlight under my pillow because difficult child-mother would alwayas turn out ALL the lights in my room, including the night light.
