As a child

Every Saturday mourning I would watch my favorite cartoon, Batman! All i talked about played with, or watched had to do something about Batman. I owned the original 1960's version of Batman and would watch it over and over. I also had probably around 50-60 little batman figures which i called my "guys." So I wouldn't say I had only one prized toy as a child I had dozens. I would take my guys everywhere I went, from taking a couple to school, in the bathtub, or going to my grandmothers house, they would be with me at all times. My mother actually had to put a limit on how many I took when i went places. But now looking back my guys somewhat made me who I am today. For instance the scenarios I put my guys through when playing in the past, I could see myself doing in the future. Such as having my guys free fall from the top of my bunk bed could explain how bad today I want to try skydiving. That's just one example, but I don't think I would be who I am today if it wasn't for my Batman guys.
