What's your fondest childhood memory? Or fondest childhood memories, rather?

Answer 1

All these involves friends and family alike...

My Dad:

When my dad would lift me in the air and I'd pretend I was Superman flying to Lois Lane's rescue. One time I crapped on my dad's face when we were playing "Superman."

I loved it everytime my dad would tell me to balance my self on the palm of his hand! Haha!

Friends:

Fondest one was when I was forced to learn how to swim. We were at a church-sponsored family outing and every family from church was there. When we were swimming, I noticed my childhood sweetheart drowning! Some kid was drowning her! I had to force myself to remember everything I learned from my swimming lessons. Luckily, I saved her in time! The poor kid got a slap from her! Ha!

When we were kids, we would play Power Rangers! I loved that! At first, I was Billy 'cause I was nerdy... Then, someone nerdier than me came along and he had to be Billy. Then, I became Jason... Then Tommy (finally).

Every camp, we would gather around the campfire and share ghost stories! It was cool!

Then, my friends, my cousins, and I would play with our flashlights and pretend they were lightsabers!

By the way, after i saved my childhood sweetheart from drowning, we were nicknamed "Tommy and Kimberly" cause Kimberly ends up in trouble, and Tommy being the "dashing white knight" has to save her.

Answer 2

My fondest memories---are the times that I spent the night with my cousin---she was a child that was full of life and would try just about anything!

Answer 3

Oooooh....I remember my daddy tossing me up and catching me and how weightless it made me feel:) I remember Christmas and how magical it was...the Christmas story read by my daddy on Christmas Eve....the excitement of Christmas morning to see what Santa had brought:) I remember playing in the big snows that used to come to my hometown, my dad even has old reel to reel movies of he and I playing in the snow and of my baby sister, held by my mother, watching us:) I remember how wonderful a coke in one of those small (real glass) bottles tasted, still do if you can find them:) I remember trips to the lake (Waterloo lake, in North Alabama)...playing in the water all day, then falling asleep in the bed of Daddy's pick-up on the ride home:) I remember making play houses in the back yard, with the clippings after Daddy mowed the yard, with my younger sister:)

I remember that you never heard about wives and children being abused in my little hometown and how people, back then, hardly ever locked their doors. I remember when a peice of bubble gum was only a penny and a coke was 10 cents. No...I'm not all that old...I'm only 42. The world has changed THAT much within my lifetime and I really hate to see those days fade away:( The world was a much better place back then. I would trade all the technology that we have now for those days back.

Answer 4

I was five years old and I was the only child at the time
(my sister was born when I was eight). My parents and I moved to Arizona -I can't remember what state we moved from because my parent's were both in the Air Force and we moved alot during my first five years of life. Before driving
the big moving truck to Arizona we stopped by Georgia, (where I was born) to visit our family, then we were on our way. It was not until we were in South Carolina when I realized I forgot my favorite doll (which I still have) at my grandparents house. Of course I cried and whined and I had to have my doll. So my dad turned the moving truck around and we went back to Georgia to get my doll. Then after I was finally able to have the doll back in my arms we drove on our long long drive to Arizona where I lived from ages 5-10.

Answer 5

Going fishing with my dad very early in the morning. We would stop at the truck stop and get chocolate milk and doughnuts. There was always a heavy fog coming off the river that increased that feeling of "just me and dad". To this day a foggy morning brings that memory alive like it was yesterday.

Answer 6

I have 2; 1st my mother carrying my sister and I out onto the observation deck at the airport and watching my father walk out in his white Navy uniform boarding his plane to vietnam.

2nd my grandfather teaching me to row a boat, sitting beside him working one oar as he worked the other trying to match the depth in which he placed the oar into the water and the amount of pull he applied. We had a great rythem after a short time. I was 5.

Answer 7

Hopping into the car with mom and dad and my sister and driving the mile and a half to the El Dora for ice cream. It's no longer there in a physical sense, but it still exists in my mind, and that's all that matters.

Answer 9

concepts could desire to be merely that, concepts. No thoughts related. The baddest concepts have the perfect training and are commonly right for you and are included into your being. the best are merely effective days, devoid of any value different than for the sentiments related, by way of fake concepts. bypass decrease back and it replaced into 'no longer something plenty'. Peace.

Answer 10

Those days when we freely bathe in the rain and wander into the woods with my sisters and my neighbor-playmates. We even built a playhouse atop a tree, We have no fears at all.
