This hits home so much! And the references to the crazy toys we had. I always love how your writing ends with something positive that we can all take and learn from.
I remember those SRA books! My best fourth-grade friend and I raced each other, but got bored long before the ultimate Gold level. 1979-1980, and a million years ago.
It's awful to hear you had a Carrie-level home life. Lots of smart girls did then.

Again, so many familiar touch points, Amy. Mattel Thingmaker! Glow-in-the-dark Creepy Crwalers! LOL
