A secret library. My parents thought spending money on books was a waste of money. Our local library was tiny and I'd already read through all the kids books. I had an attic bedroom and the plywood wall beside my bed covered a large empty space by the eaves. I always imagined I would one day have a secret door into that space and a secret library all my own.

I wanted a dog too but that was a no go.

I wanted a couple things:

1) Easy Bake Oven. Told a coworker that one time. She joked said that you have a real oven, you can bake whatever you want in it. I said it was not the same!

2) Light Brite. Parents thought my brother and me would lose the blubs.

3) Finally got an Operation game when I was around 12 and my brother was around 11. Parents said the same thing. Thought we would lose the organs for the game. I guess this one does not count as I finally got one!

4) Parents never let my brother and me go into those playgrounds with the balls you jump into until we were about 10/12 years old. When other kids were allowed to go in there at 6/7/8 years old?!?! Parents I guess were over protective. I guess this one does not count either as I finally did it.

5) Pierced ears. Still don't have them done. My dad had a rule I could not get them done until I was 16. Around 13 he asked why I don't have them done. My mom and me got him and joke saying, "Someone in this room told her she could not get them done until 16." When he asked if I wanted them done, I was SOOOOOOO over getting my ears pierced, to this day I never cared. Not too long after that when my brother turned 12 or 13, he got his one ear pierced. He had it in for about 1 year and got tired of it.

@AuntMame I don't understand why anyone would people think books are a waste of money?

Thankfully my library is HUGE and I like to check the book out and read it before I buy it as books do take alot of room up. Hate to spend money on a book and it is not good. So I can see that. But if it is a great book, I don't see how it is a waste of money?
