Share Your Toys R Us Memories

#toysrus #toysrusmemories #tributetotoys

Who doesn’t remember the Toys ‘R’ Us kid jingle? “I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys ‘R’ Us kid!” It’s up there with the Oscar Meyer weiner song...practically ingrained in our subconscious.

We all have memories of running up and down the aisles of the iconic toy store as a child – and maybe as a parent, too – brimming with excitement and joy. I have a memory of feeling astounded by the immense height of the toy shelves, in awe of how they seemed to pierce the clouds and continue upwards endlessly.

I was once a Toys ‘R’ Us kid. Were you?

Memories!! My kids wanted everything in the store... minus the baby stuff They even wanted GEOFFREY!!! Imagine! ( not the toy, the overly large humongous GEOFFREY!!! But I will miss it for the grandkids! Feel bad for all the unemployed workers. But in reality I find Target and Walmart to have better deals on the games and toys etc.
