Do we have batteries mum?

Back in the day, the newest toys with batteries, colourful buttons and flashy lights. We played with a sense of wonder and amazement - not really sure how the buttons and batteries really worked (until we got older). Our portable toys came to life of sorts when batteries were put into them and all we used care about was “do we have batteries mum” when they stopped working – as simple as that.

Remember that Tamagotchi (たまごっち) small egg shaped collectable digital pets’ game kids used to bring to school. 

Remember the Nintendo Game Boy that kids played with in the car, during meal times and under the bedcovers? Sigh…the good old days with the classics Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and Pacman. Oh and don’t forget the remote control cars, we all have secretly hidden somewhere, from the huge batteries to the small AA and round discs. Actually before remote controlled cars, we had cars with huge batteries and a black cable for steering and haha before toy cars with batteries we had classic wooden wheely cars! =D
