Oh yeah. I was really big into Legos, and I had a stuffed animal collection. I was also known to make stuff out of paper and cardboard and whatever else I could get my hands on (of course, I was known to make pretend computers out of them!). Believe it or not, I also liked playing outside.

Yes and no. It's actually a hard question to answer, despite how frivolously you may have intended it.
As a gifted child, my early school life was all sorts of messed up. I didn't really ever have any peers until fifth grade. I was either younger than my classmates, or more advanced in the schoolwork. As a result I didn't develop appropriate social skills and ended up socially awkward with very few friends and more than a few bullies.
On top of that, I was diagnosed with ADHD in fifth grade (and had suffered from it for years before the diagnosis explained it all).
So no, I didn't have a "normal" or "typical" childhood, and I didn't grow up the way most people do. It's complicated. It wasn't really until college where I was really able to develop as a person.

Why do people keep asking me for my favorites after I've already said I can't really prioritize my memories that way? *sweatdrop*
Truthfully there's a lot of my childhood that I could say I'm not happy about. (See above.) And correspondingly not a whole lot I remember that really stands out enough to call it my favorite.
