What are the things that remind you of your childhood?

Some things that remind me of my childhood are…PlaygroundsI would play on them all the time as a kid, so this shouldn’t be too surprisingThose bright blue blow-up swimming poolsMy friend had one at her house. One day, when her dad was drunk, he decided to try and dig underneath the pool to build a “deep end”. Didn’t end well.FrisbeesIt was a simpler time when grade school recess allowed us to play ultimate Frisbee. After they realized we basically played it like tackle football, it’s not a shock that it was banned.The Public LibraryAs I was going into middle school, the game Roblox was all the craze. I would run to the library, memorize my library card number, and quickly punch it into the computer so I could play.They limited you on two hours a day, but that didn’t stop some bullies from physically removing you from the computer.Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum or Tic TacsI used to chew this bubblegum and blow the biggest, fattest bubbles imaginable. My friends and I would make contests on their sides.I also pretended that Tic Tacs were drugs and give myself “pretend overdoses” that I was in movies (I was a lovely 9 year old girl.)The feeling of your bare feet burning on hot asphalt in the summerAs a kid, I didn’t really like to wear shoes. I also frequently played in the front or backyard, so my precious toes were protected by the summer heat from the grass.If I wanted to venture across the street to invite another friend over, I’d have to tiptoe quickly and pray not to get run over by a car.Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream barsI loved these things as a kid, and I ate them all the time to cool down. Self explanatory.Freshly baked loaves of breadA childhood friend of mine lived on top of a bakery that her parents owned, so it was pretty often that I was going home with free bread every day to bring to my parents. We also got to help them make bread too, which was a really fun thing to experience as a child.I think I’ve contributed enough ;)
