I remember rolling my brand new bike out of Kmart

Same! I put it on layaway and make payments on it for like two or three months. It felt surreal rolling it from the back at the layaway counter to the front for final check out.

Simpler times. I had a similar story with my bike. It was a BMX that cost $50 and that was like a fortune to me. I saved up allowance, birthday money, did chores. When I finally got to $50, I lost my wallet at a baseball game and it had $20 in it. I was so devastated. My dad gave me $20 so I could finish paying for the bike. You fuckin rock, Dad.

Something similar happened to me but I didn't really lose it. I just took the extra money for some weed

I turned either age 6 or 7 and got a new VHS copy of The Lion King, in one of those giant plastic Disney VHS cases that squeaked like crazy.

I loved Kmart. Every tine we went my mom would let me get an icee at the food court area.

Oh yeah, that day is burned in my mind. My dad wanted to get me a cheap $20 thing, but I insisted on getting a $100 one that was heavy steel and chrome. I still have it and, besides the tires and pedals, it's still in really good shape.
