Favorite Toy/Food/Etc.

Here's another exercise: Write about your favorite toy, food, or other item as a kid. What was so great about it? Do you still like it now? Why do you think it was your favorite? How did your family and friends react to your interactions with your favorite? Think of ways to use this material: as childhood myth, as social commentary about childhood/adulthood, or just revelling in the language and images of this experience.
