Childhood memories invovling TMNT

For those of you who were turtle fans when you were children, what memories do you have invovling TMNT?

My EARLIEST memory was watching April's Foolish on BBC, I think on a Saturday morning way back in the early 90s or late 80s. I was already a TMNT fan having seen other eps I think and I remember how I'd wait every time for the show to come on. I'd watch TV laying stomach down on the floor and have my eyes glued up close to the set. April's Foolish is the first TMNT ep I ever actually remember seeing.

I remember when my mum would take me to work with her (between around 89 and 1995ish she worked as a housekeeper for various people) when I was young and she'd let me rent video's to watch while I was there. One video I'd rent constantly from a local video store that's no longer in business was a TMNT one that had Enter: The Rat King and The Fifth Turtle episodes on it.

I remember when I went to see the movie in 1990. Seven years old and incredibly excited. I remember how shocked I was when Raph was so different from his cartoon self but I adjusted quickly to the change and LOVED it (for ages I went round saying "damn" constantly, much to my elders displeasure!).

And back to the cartoon, I'd not only video tape episodes sometimes, but I'd also make audio tapes and listen to them when I was in bed or in my walkman when I was out.

I remember how I'd play with some of the boys in my neighbourhood sometimes and when we'd play TMNT I'd always try desperately to be April (I idolized her as a child just because the turtles liked her and I wanted to be a reporter). I had this little home made microphoe and video camara that I'd made out of cardboard and we'd all run around the street playing TMNT but too often the boys would waste all the time fighting over who got to be which turtle.

When I was about eight I wrote a love letter to Raph. I wanted to send it to him but didn't know where so I kept it for years.

When I turned ten I drifted away from TMNT for several years but I'll always look back on my few childhood memories with great fondness.
