What was one of your most special memories growing up?

Question

im always interested to hear of other peoples stories about growing up and what effected them to remember such times.

Answer 1

My most special memory is about a Small black neighbor dog,that used to come and see us .We would feed it and play with it every day.My dad didn`t let us have any 4 leged animals,so this one we really loved.Well for some unknown reason to us kids she didn`t come and see us all of a sudden but 2 weeks later she did.She acted strange though.Kind of like Lassie.She would motion and bark at us to follow her.We finelly did and low and behold she wanted to show us her Puppy`s.She even let us play with her puppy`s.That was my special moment .

Answer 2

I remember bedtimes the most I think. My Dad used to tell 'When daddy was a little boy" stories about all the things he had enjoyed when he was a kid. And instead of lullabies, we would often fall asleep to the sound of Dad playing Eagles songs on his electric guitar and singing along (not too well mind you), lol. I still have a deep love of loud music.

Answer 3

the most special memory of my childhood i would say would be that i never figured i be sitting one day on yahoo answers and see all the stupidity that goes around here and it ticking me off. yeah, other then that my childhood was good. no internet, no computer back then, out playing with friends, football and other games. and i don't mean ur stupid for posting this question but going around in other sections, its just depressing how stupid the people have become. Have you seen the movie IDIOCRACY, well its about to come true.

Answer 4

I have special memories of growing up. Right this minute, I don't have a story on my mind to tell.
