being a kid was a great time for me, i loved it. what was your favorite childhood memory?


Our backyard w/tons of playground equipment. Every holiday, every summer, Campfire Girls. We had an incredibly stable and happy family. Now that I've met so many people with dysfunctional family backgrounds I'm absolutely amazed at how blessed I was ..


Still am:tongue:

yeah, you are lucky, it is amazing at how many parents are unfamilar with the effect they have on their children, it is mind-blowing

I hated my childhood. I was a geek with no friends. I guess the best memory was winning the award for best painting in the school when I was in 4th grade. I painted dolphins jumping while the sun was setting. They gave me a little plaque with my name on it and everything to put underneath the painting and they hung it in the hallway.

sorry i'm drawing a blank right now.........being a step-child i was never all that happy............i guess it would have to be when i confronted my step-mother about being my real mothers best friend and asking why it was she died


have you worked through these issues? i am seriously not being mean, this can be a very serious issue. you should definately talk to someone about them if you have not already done so.

i remember a few fave toys. a yellow truck - a grader my uncle gave me when i was 2. i remember an old neighborhood man chasing squirrels away with a broom. i can recall my grandmother's kitchen and sipping postum with her through sugar cubes and digging in her flower garden with a trowel.

a car we got when i was 3 - a volkswagon beetle had a hole in the floorboard where you could watch the road go by...

i have quite a few preschool memories that i enjoy.

well, being a geek is easy, being a great artist is admirable, i would work on your artistic abilities every day

I like philosophy better. And I'm better at sketching than painting. That drawing of Edward Scissorhands on my profile is done by me.

Coming home from school and smelling the fresh bread baking. My mom would always make sure that she could pull a loaf out of the oven just as my sister and I were coming in the door. She would slice into that loaf of hot bread and spread real butter on it. Mmmmm!happy

This may seem pretty simple, but my mother singing as she hung the laundry on the clothes line on Saturday mornings. There were Mimosa trees in bloom and our laundry always smelled so sweet. My window faced the back yard and was open all summer. When my mothers singing mingled with that scent it woke me with a feeling of pure happiness like you would never believe unless you were in my skin on a sunny Saturday morning. It was perfection, for sure! flowerforyou

Family outings to the carousel ride, mini golf, or for pizza by the beach.
