I have long been of the opinion that the best time of life is childhood. No work, no stress, innocence, fun, climbing trees, collecting caterpillars, brandings etc.
Even if childhood was not great, most people have funny or happy memories.
Please join me for a skip (or limp) down the slightly dusty and weed afflicted yellow brick road and share your fondest memories.
Wasn't funny at the time, but my mum still laughs at it (and I just get embarrassed). In preschool it was a stinking hot day and all the kids were stripping off and running under the sprinkers in their undies. I was wearing a full length velvet dress (long sleeve) and white opaque stockings (yes it was summer but it was my favourite dress at the time... and one of the few dresses I would wear) and refused to undress. One of the carers started to unzip my dress and I went mental and locked my self in a cupbord and cried until I passed out. They had to call my mum to come and get me. When mum asked what happened I said it had already been a bad day because they had asked me to play with Play-Doh and I had already done that before and I just lost my temper.
There was also the time mum got pulled over for a random breath test on the way home from the pools. The policeman asked mum if she had had anything to drink and she said no. I told the policeman my mum was lying she had been drinking a lot. The cop said "what's your mum been drinking today?". I said mineral water... tropical and showed him the can mum was still drinking. He didn't even breath test mum, he just told her to drive safely. I remember mum saying "I have never been so embarrassed in my life". Little did she know a short time later I was shown a forehead slap, and when I came home and we went grocery shopping, I excitedly said "guess what I got shown today" and demonstrated in the supermarket. Mum still says she saw stars.
I also tried to save a kitten from a tree. The kitten didn't need saving, bu I climbed the tree, it jumped down, I jumped down, the ugly a** dress I was wearing ballooned and caught on the fence and my dress was now a hospital gown. Mum thought I did it deliberately because I was laughing so much. I didn't, but I really didn't like the dress.
My fondest memories of childhood would have to be putting up the Christmas tree. Mum and the three girls would put up the tree, and dad would sit on the couch and watch. I always enjoyed the Bathurst weekend. Dad loved cars and I would save my pocket money and buy him nibblies and ask mum to buy him some beer. I didn't really like the cars, but I enjoyed the time with dad and the running commentary of the race.
Please share your memories. I am sure everyone has a lot of stories, and the more posts the more embarrassing the stories will get as people remember and start to share their personal smilie moments.
