Question

Answer 1

My greatest childhood memory is probably every Christmas I can remember as a child. I loved Christmas, we were a very close family and the day was important to us. We'd help cook a meal and open all of our presents together, before playing with our siblings. It was the best day of the year for me.

Answer 2

I have soooo many i don't know where to start. But there is one and i never let my mum forget as i always remind her of the birthday cake she made for my 7th birthday it was in the shape of a number 7 but it was the wrong way round.

I thought it was great though as i had seen all the effort she had put into it

Been raised on a council estate with 2 brothers and 2 sisters we were never bored and always played out with the kids on the street playing bull dogs and red-rover were the favorite games.  

Answer 3

Although it wasn't that funny when it happened, my brother and I laugh about it over and over again.  About 35 yrs ago, I was 7 my brother 6.  We used to put green apples on the end of pointed apple sticks and fling them at each other.  One day my brother had a IDEA lol,  He says, Lets makes bows and arrows and play Cowboys and Indians.  We worked all day making our weapons. Nearing supper time we divided into teams.  And began to play, ONLY ONE arrow was shot, it went straight into the back of my left leg.  My sister started screaming, My brother nearly passed out, but with quick thinking he ran to my side, crying, bent down and broke the arrow off.  Like they do in the movies. lol lol lol  He is now 41 and I am 42.  I have a very nice scare on my back leg to remind me that life was great back then when , you didn't lock your doors, there were no computers, and you had to get up to answer the phone, or change the channel on the TV. and,  When you got to stay out late til dark and all the neighbors kids were at your house cause you had the biggest family.  When the Walton's or Little house on the Prairie came on, your Mom would call you in to watch it because it was good family viewing.  Lots of good memories.  Good question, thanks for the trip down memory lane.  Now I have to go call my brother. :) :)

I went to my first overnight camp for 2 weeks when I was 8 years old. I was really excited to be going and as soon as my mom checked me in and helped me move my bags to the area where the camp van would pick them up I gave her a hug, said "See you in 2 weeks!" and ran off. I didn't even let my mom bring me to my cabin lol, she was heartbroken

Answer 11

Being with my mom.  She was a stay at home mom and when my dad went to work, we would either play my favorite games or we would go for a walk to the grocery store, or take the bus to the movie theatre.  My mom didn't drive so we always had to walk, take the bus, or ride our bikes.

I wish more than anything that I could be a stay at home mom.  My husband is going to school right now, so maybe someday.
