Memmmmrrrrieeeesss

A commercial just came on for some random thing and it in there was a little boy playing with a toy that sparked a memory. I forgot all about these toys and am really surprised that they're still making them! I couldn't remember what they were called so I googled "80s basketball water toy" (because the version I remember was a basketball game). Good ol' google.....Waterfuls!

My cousin Shane had these toys at his house and I used to play with them on Sundays after church while we waited for lunch. I think he also had the tic-tac-toe version. We'd switch games because we'd get bored with them easily. I just remember sitting there on the couch with him and my sister someties and we didn't talk, just played our games. I would get frustrated with mine sometimes and cheat and turn it upside down. He would just laugh at me and switch games.

Not an exciting post, but when I remember times with my cousin Shane, it helps me to share them. That's how I want to remember him, not as someone who committed suicide, but as the boy who was the closest thing I had to brother and who I enjoyed spending time with.
