As a Kid

[Mackeral]

I put this on guys group then realised that there's not that many of us..

OK..

What reminds you of being a kid..Films..Music..What you Did..Just brings back fond or horrid memories..What formed you into the person you are today..

Fishing in a grid..
Climbing the biggest tree i could find..
Running fast in my slippers..
Going to watch Man UTD with my dad..
My grandad letting me drive his car at 6
Watching Jaws and actually loosing some poo..
Break dancing on lino in the street..
The smell of the jam factory at the end of my road..
Having as family night at home which ment pulling the couch right up to the telly...eating a glass of hundreds and thousands licking my finger and licking the finger pop and watching james bond on a monday night..
Going on holiday to Wales and watching my grandad fill his sock with stones and throw it about a mile into the sea..
Brown sauce sandwhiches..
Mixing milk and orange and pretending it was a potion..
Drinking out the warm tap to become a vampire..
And getting sweets off Deetah my black neighbour over the back yard wall..I never saw her face but a black hand with a bag of sweets would appear now and again, with a broad Jamacan accent..She was a top top woman...

I proberly got loads more but i want to hear yours.....

As a Kid

Cindi Lauper...I loved her music
hairspraying my hair until it stood straight up...the bigger the better.
flourescent clothes and bracelets
swimming in the pond behind the house
running faster than most boys in my grade
my parents getting divorced
hanging out with my cousins

The very first time I ever dunked a basketball;

And for the men in the group, having several families over for Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry's. Can believe we actually ate those things!

And of course, Nebraska Cornhusker football.

Playing frisbee in the street

Riding bicycles blindfolded

Trampolines

Sliding down the hill on cardboard @ the river

But I want to know why Macks grandfather threw his sock full of stones into the water????

As a Kid

Having my daddy reach up and grab the moon for me.
Walking barefoot to the icecream shop.
Skating on the road in front of my grandmother's house......skate key and clip on skates.
My dad coughing up a lung from smoking.
My mom never understanding or being on MY side of anything....
My dad praying to die .....
My grandmother always understanding and loving me unconditionally...
Playing at the gravel pit where there were American Indian graves.
Going to the beach and getting all sunburned.
Porch swings...
Tree swings...
Swimming in the creek...
Kisses in the dark...
Drive in movies.....

As a Kid

Playing outdoor "night games" --- "kick the can", etc.
Going to the pool every day, knowing nothing about sunscreen; stopping for popcorn on the way home
Going to "The Way We Were" at a drive-in with my sisters, having them shove my head under a blanket for several scenes... didn't get why
My wild, wonderful imagination run amuck ... writing stories constantly ... never stopping until puberty, when it all stopped

As a Kid

Definately playing hide and seek and kick the can in our orchard growing up.

Building "forts" in the forest across the street.

Summer camping trips with my family.

Going to "Wild and Wet" water slides in the summer while school was out. SUCH FUN!

My parents having dinner parties, and my brother and I having to stay in our room, but spying on the grow ups from the stair case. Such a thrill of being caught!

Pushing my brother down the stairs in card board boxes...and no matter how many times it hurt, he believed "THIS TIME" it would work, and be fun!

Being around 10-11, shovelling the driveway while it was snowing, in the dark, feeling like you are the only person in the universe...so peaceful, silent...perfect.


WOW...lots...and enjoying reading all of yours

As a Kid

Walking past the old graveyards on Halloween
Swimming in Deer Pond but being careful not get get suckers attached to you
10 cents from Dad each Friday for an ice cream cone
Picking apple drops in Snell's Orchards and getting 10 cents a box
Catching bull frogs in Spring but always letting 'em go
Listening to Whipporwills while falling asleep
Cleaning snow off the pond so we could go skating
Helping my Dad carry water from the spring when the well went dry
Hugging close to the woodstove while dressing for school in the morning
Saying good bye to my best friend when her Mom died and she had to move

As a Kid

watching 3-2-1 on a saturday night
curry batter buns
sindy dolls
getting up early in the morning to have tea and toast with my dad before he went to work
sleeping with my hair in rags so i could have ringlets the next day for school...
...always seeming to have one ringlet longer than the rest, because the rag loosened during the night.
ballet classes on a saturday morning
family holidays abroad... and cringing when my dad wore his Jesus sandals with his fluorescent green socks.
feeling really grown up when i was allowed a sip of champagne on New Year's Eve at 10 year old
hiding behind the settee when the Daleks were on Doctor Who
