A Schwinn Stingray.(I think I was about 11 yo) Had to build my own from parts and pieces I traded for and scrounged at the dump. Probably one of the best lessons I have ever learned. That old bike meant more to me than any new one could have. I see they are making them again.

i wanted one of those little plastic cars that ACTUALLY MOVE when you press the pedal just like a REAL CAR! which sounds spoiled compared to all of these other answers...

Emotionally stable loving parents. Conversely I received an alcoholic father, and an abused physically and psychologically mother incapable of love because of her own issues.

Unconditional acceptance and love. I had all the things I could ask for to compensate for their laziness and selfishness but I would have much preferred the latter...

by redngold16 on March 26th, 2008
I have been pretty lucky in the sense that my parenst have always been able to provide me with the things I have needed or wanted. However, now that I am 23 and am a BIG KID i have been asking for Green Bay Packers clothing for a couple years and finally my mom compromised with me and bought me a gift certificate to their pro shop so I can go buy what I want when the 2008 gear comes out.
Like I said I am pretty lucky sometimes it just takes alot of asking and persuasion to get what I want. ;)

A pony, of course. I thought we could keep one in the back yard in Suburbia. I was a dumb kid. My dad tried to explain it.

by Emmagirl wants to leave and not leave... on October 18th, 2007
This might be lame - but I always wanted a Barbie Doll. My problem as a kid was that I desired, but never asked for things. I thought Barbies were expensive so I never asked my parents for that.
by BrokeDog on October 18th, 2007
A motorcycle. Funny thing is, my little brother got one, (right after I got my car).
by Everdreamer on July 9th, 2009
A new dad :(
But I'm okay with it now. My grandfather was a good father figure anyway.

A DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by thewhitetulip on January 3rd, 2009
love and having a parent say "I love you"
by Servant2009 on January 3rd, 2009
I wanted my dad to hug me and tell me that I was good. But he never did. Kids need affirmations from their parents. Especially boys from their dads. I Bible days boys were given a father's blessing. I raised four sons who are good men and fathers today. I held them, hugged them ,kissed them. We all played together often. We need to let go of this macho man thing and love our kids to the max.

*sigh* Me, too. But after I turned 12, my grandparents saved us (I do have siblings) from that hell-hole.
by meowry on June 18th, 2008
meeeeeee toooooooo! I never got it, but I am getting now, 40 years later...better late than never.

by WhatusayJ on November 28th, 2008
that is kind of you...it's okay. I am making up for lost love, I mean time...hhahaa.
by Salty Light on November 28th, 2008
I think I might be over it. Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure. Last month, I heard, over the phone, that my mother died at the age of 50. I only felt remorse for the fact that I couldn't feel sad over the loss.
