If you acted your shoe size instead of your age...

I would be nine and be playing with toy cars, watching cartoons and hugging stuffed animals

Omg I know right! It’s just another quick and easy way to make extra cash! It’s like when I was purchasing a Dyson airwrap. Paying a lot for a bunch of attachments that just gather dust in the wardrobe. I may have saved myself a good £50 if I was able to just get the barrels and smoothing brush. 

I wonder if it's because everything has to come in kits and packs now, so much stuff I go to look at and think of buying comes in kits and I don't want a kit as I may already have half of it and don't need more.

I'd be 6 and probably playing with barbies or something 

Aww omg that is so cute! Ahh this is bringing me back so much lol! Why does everything have to be so expensive now though? I’m temping to make my own doll house out of random boxes and stuff! I’m also wanting to buy fairy themed stuff for my mini zen garden I have too. 

Dolls houses are big business not because theres so many big girls like us who still like them, they're really expensive now and so is the furniture, you can pay as much for dolls house furnture as for proper stuff for your own house! When I was a child, there were proper toy shops were you could go and buy dolls house furniture one piece at a time, you could buy single toy animals and bits of fencing and stuff from toy farms and riding stables, I had both and really loved them. I had two biscuit tins of plastic horses.

Aww that was so sweet of your parents! I remember doll houses too haha! Omg I want to play with them again now lol! I actually even want to play with Lego again, especially the Mario sets. 

If I was 5 I'd be playing with my dolls house, my Dad made it for me and sometimes I'd wake up in the morning and find my Mum and made new curtains or bedding for it out of old scraps of fabric. I was always so excited by that. 

I’d be five and playing with plushies 

As a size/age 9 (UK), I'd be roaming the countryside with my best buddy, poking things with sticks, collecting insects, rolling down hills, or other such idyllic pastimes.

As a size/age 10 (US), I'd have moved house, changed school, and not had my best buddy any more.

As a size/age 43 (European), I'd be a little less grey.

I'd be 12 1/2 and building electronic circuits, doing a bit of computer programming, playing with Technical Lego and reading Sci Fi books.

I think all of us have some unhappy memories, but lets try and think of the fun things.

I'd be 5 and I'd be playing with Lego and soft toys and wanting to play with anyone's animals that would let me. Sometimes I think that would be a better fit but on the flip side starting school is one of my earliest memories of realising I didn't fit in, so maybe not.

I would be six and a half, I would be carrying my teddy bear round everywhere, living in a world of my own. I would also be riding my little blue bike up and down the street mostly on my own. I would often feel quite sad and confused though. 

I'd be 9 and still be playing Pokémon 

I would like to be size 14, but I’m 9, 8 was better if I remember….

:) I'd be 13 and doing pretty much the same as I am now - riding my bike, taking photos of fungus, walking the dog and making model kits...
