What do you remember most as a kid....?

Question

I remember riding with my dad and we would listen to all the good rock bands like AC/DC, Led, The Doors, The Beatles, Van Halen, and singers like Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Elton John...just all of them...and I also remember in the living room we had all of his records sitting in a crate and on some day he would put them in the record player. And everytime we go out as a family he always changes the radio stations! He goes back and fourth. Its funny...but thats when I first found a love for rock music

some days sorry....

I also remember being at my family's business with my brother over the summer and we were little and all the customers would talk to us and now they see us and they are like I can't believe how much you grew. And I remember trips with my grandparents and cousins...those were the days

I also remember we had two dogs and I was little and we had a black lab and a golden retreiver...I would go out to the back door and call them and feed the treats...but one time Raff the golden retriver licked me all over my face and I got freaked out and never fed them again and was afraid of big dogs until i hit age 14...but I can still like the classic rock bands and like fall out boy...so the person who said that you are an idiot!

Answer 1

I really remember feeding our old dog all these biscuits. Me and my bro used to literally attack each other over who got to feed her.

We were little :p

Answer 2

I remember hanging out in the Museum of Science and Industry. I remember stopping for burgers and fries with my Family after church on Sunday nights, at the very first McDonald's. I remember My Dad getting 3 half gallons of
Baldwins Hand Packed Ice Cream. My Dad playing Moonlight
Sonnata on the Piano. My Mom Teaching the United Ladies Class. The Beverly Hills Library,(Walker Branch) The Smell
of the old books, Counting train cars and wondering where
they had been. oops sorry got carried away.

Answer 3

As a kid I was a huge Elton John fan (before I got into hard rock). My mom listed to the radio and played Mowtown oldies and pop/rock music, like Chicago or Carol King, while doing chores. that's when I found that music can be motivating. The Doors kind of gave me the creeps, but I like them now

At the time (70s) people made wall units out of cinder block, boards and large speaker cabinets.

Answer 4

I remember most that my brother was always favored by everyone in my family, because he was the only boy--parents, grand parents etc. I remember that my sister was also favored because she was the "book smart" girl(she literally IQ tests out at "genius") , and that she was the first born.

The very sad part in all of it is, that my siblings are still favored over me--they still live off my parents and they are older than me, and while I love my life with my husband and my children--it would be nice to be thought of first for once!

Sorry that is a sad memory--but I didn't have the best childhood!

Answer 5

I'm glad you have an appreciation for the finer music in life. I myself was made to listen to the 8 track tape of Johnny Cash's greatest hits for hours on end. I even hid it one time so my parents would not play the darned thing and lo and behold but they found it in the Burnin' Ring of Fire. My mother still has that in my father's garage. None of the 8 track players work, but I bet if they did Johnny would be at his finest.

Answer 6

Getting rejected from peers for getting clothes at the Nearly New store, wearing glasses and being too skinny, having big feet and getting straight A's in school.

Answer 7

Trips to the lake. Vaction in St. Maarten (my parents have a condo down there). Tootsie Rolls, my grandpa always had them. The restaurant my grandma worked at.

Answer 8

Playing in the barn hay loft when I was a kid. We would jump out of the loft onto piles of hay.

Oh, and my grandfather chasing us around the yard with a fly swatter because we were misbehaving.

Answer 9

we had a german shpherd dog named daisy, and a cat named... kitty kitty (sad but true). I would go in the living rooom in my diaper and dance to led zeppelin or whatev er else my parents were listening to.i remeber having a swingset in my backyard.I remember hopping on my dad's dirtbike and acting like i was so cool!

Answer 10

i have great memories of spending time with my dad, too. he used to play records for my sister & i in the basement on his old stereo! led zepplin (stairway to heaven album), simon & garfunkel, 3 dog night, nitty gritty dirt band (house at pooh corner). also, memories of him playing with us outside, him tinkering in the garage & letting us play with his tools as he taught up how to do things. my dad is a great man, patient & kind. we used to think i was great when he'd give us a chunk of scrap wood, a hammer & a can of nails... we'd sit there & hammer nails into that board til it looked like a chunk of metal! fun times. simple times.

i also have memories of mom screaming all the time. she'd threaten to leave, get angry, slam things, ignore all of use for days on end. refusing to talk to anyone. this could be set off my my sister or i leaving a pair of shoes in the living room. i remember BEGGING her not to leave (she never did, it was an empty threat), crying, & my sister telling me not to beg. it was terrifying as a child.

i thank God that we had Dad. he was the stable one, the kind one, loving one. i dont know how, but the good memories are the ones i cling to & remember the most. perhaps that's why i remember being outside with him so much, he was probably wanting to get himself & us out of the house.
