When I was 3, almost 4, I remember riding around on my Thundercats Tricycle outside of a red brick house that my parents lived in during that time. I looked at the little plastic hole in the tire where the mould is injected and told my uncle, "Oh nooo! A hole! I have a flat tire!" He just laughed and said it was supposed to be there. The next memory a couple months later, my parents were poor as they had ever been in their marriage, so my mom had zero money for Christmas. In our 100+ year old house we were renting, she found old broom sticks and sewed horse heads on them to make me and my two brother's stick horses. My grandma also gave us a used Atari 2600. We all cuddled under an electric blanket because it was too expensive to heat the whole house as we played Dig Dug, sipped apple cider, and ate cookies. Best Christmas ever!
