What do you miss most about your childhood.

Mutant z

What i miss about my childhood is going outside to play with my friends and not having a care in the world, everything seemed to be so much simpler when you were a child without having to deal with the stress adult life brings i really miss that. Events like Halloween and Christmas were things i used to genuinely look forward to now they just simply feel like any other day, but as a kid i used to love going out trick or treating and opening my presents under the Christmas tree everything seemed so exciting then and something to look forward to but as an adult all these things pass me by practical unnoticed which is a shame, its all part of growing up i guess but i do sometimes yearn for the days of my childhood, who else feels exactly the same way.

"I always imagined that when I was a kid adults had some sort of inner toolbox full of shiny tools; the saw of discernment, the hammer of wisdom, the sandpaper of patience. But then when I grew up I found that life handed you these rusty bent old tools - friendship, prayer, conscience, honesty - and said 'do the best you can with these, they will have to do' and mostly, against all odds, they do"

She incredible joy of playing the very first Pokemon Nintendo games. For some reason this sticks around. We didn't have much and my mom and dad were ripping their arses apart to get me a Gameboy Colour with the game.

For some reason it is really nice to see my son enjoying the newer versions of the games too.

It might sound stupid but that really makes me happy.

My mam and everything else. On the way back from visiting my granny I would lie down at the back of the car and stare at all the stars. I remember feeling kind of strange and full of thoughts even back then. Playing in the shed with my friends making all sorts of concoctions out of mud and water and whatever else we could find. The book fair that came to the school once a year and the excitement of picking one out.

Going for walks with Mammy and stopping off in the shop to get sweets and then eating them on the way. My barbies. Bed on Christmas Eve with a knot in my stomach at thought of santy. Daddy lifting me out of the car because the weather was awful and I was wearing a special dress for the school play. Dressing up in old clothes belonging to granny and pretending I was a grand lady from another time.

Turning the back garden in to a kind of other land but only in my head. Daddy planting vegetables. My swings. Looking for fairies. Dreaming of how life would be when I grew up. Unquestioning love. My mammy and me singing songs. Daddy getting his summer holidays and being excited about where we would go.

If I could just for a minute have a little bit of that back I'd be so happy.

Being off school sick and lying on the couch with your duvet watching caartoons and Mammaayyy feeding you tea and toast all day. Proper buttery toast. Fire lit. Someone to rub your head and clean up your puke.
Now that I have my own daughter I'm the puke-wiper and toast maker

How great TV shows were back then, or so I thought.

I miss the feeling of thinking an adult had all the answers.
The sinking realization hat they don't and then becoming one yourself and realizing you had more questions with no answers than ever before was a helpless one.

Being able to sleep every night for hours on end. 4 continuous hours is deemed a great success for me now.

Swimming in the local river in all kinds of weather. Climbing trees. Fishing a lot. Cycling around aimlessly. Robbing apples. Graffiti. Playing pool.
The A-Team, Dallas, Hill Street Blues.

I guess I can do all of that still but I just never get the time.

Its easy to look back and only remember the good things. It was actually pretty crap if you think about it.
You can't drive
You have to go to school
Homework
Teachers

It goes on and on.
Being an adult is 100 times better.
