Things you miss from childhood.
Hunting down abandoned buildings and egging each other on to go inside (because they're all haunted).
Go.

mostly being young
football in the street
fireworks
getting excited about christmas/birthdays
zero stress
My bmx.
Space hoppers.
Reading the manual that came with my mega drive games that told me the story whilst eating my cereal in the mornings.
Everything being wonderful
you guys
seriously
Lego

Having dinner at 5pm and then going out to play football until it gets dark
When people decided it was getting too dark
we'd challenge ourselves to do an arbitary number of communal keepy-uppy. (And if we hit our target then we'd just raise the bar and start again. Great days).
When it got too dark
we'd hose the ball off for a while til it was shiny and white again and you could see it better for a bit longer.
otis the aardvark.
teletext.
chomps being 10p
when im sick usually
i would have got a magazine, lucozade and a sandwich or toast cut into small triangles. Plus a few grapes or small orange.
I miss being small and sick at home.
*probably wasnt really sick*
giving how much i was enjoying my sandwiches and grapes.
another one is getting a midnight snack from my mum and dad if they got an Indian at the weekend. We'd get a really small plate with a few chips some rice and sauce.
why are all mine food related. :(
Climbing trees. Conker matches.
The road i grew up on was covered in chestnut trees
We used to do all the old tricks with clear nail varnish and vinegar.
Do kids even still play conkers these days?
Yeah, I tried to play my nephews a few years back.
I was crap.
And apparently I still 'throw like a girl.'
Being able to bound up flights of stairs on all fours
without people judging.
i still do this at home
i tried to walk up them the last time i was home and almost broke my neck
At my dad's you can get some really speed going
if you use the bannister support to swing around and carry your momentum onto the stairs after running down the hall. It's just a natural thing to do whenever I'm there. one minute I'm in the lounge, the next I'm in my room, looking cool.
^ sliding down bannisters
curiosity
Fun
merlin football stickers.
cabbage patch doll stickers
*garbage pail
not having alzheimer's
you wont miss that for long
:(
:'D
pogs
Finding something ridiculously high to jump off.
a luxurious head of hair
I can't imagine you ever having hair tbh
it was blonde, curly and magnificent
i had pretty awesome blonde hair too
im really sorry i ever started dying it.
Playing computer games in the same room as people
Good one.
its hard to explain
but I'm sure everything was just less painful
Opening a brand new box of cereal and diving in for the toy.
Knocking on friends doors to see if they want to go out.
Taking a football to the park and just playing with whoever was there at the time.
Imagination
Riding shopping trolleys.
Though I do still indulge sometimes when nobody's looking.
Being able to do amazing moves on a trampoline without worrying about breaking your neck.
My cabin desk with my secret hidey den behind it.
Knock-down ginger.
being able to have fun when sober
getting dirty
hiding in hedges
climbing trees
making dens
farting on siblings pillow
Being able to fondle my penis in company.
father christmas and the tooth fairy
you are making me feel old and depressed btw
Boning my favourite teddy
Being able to get my willy out in public
And for people to think I'm cute as a result.
pokemon cards
Not having to do anything, ever
when i wasn't in charge of what i ate
and thus a treat wasn't just something i enjoyed eating, it was also a surprise. now when i get to eat hobnobs/posh crisps/whatever, i know it's been in the cupboard ever since i went to the shop.
cricket on the bbc
Racing all the other kids home from school
Uncontrollable boners
Tech decks
playing football and it not being painful.
sledding
filling a plastic tub with half penny sweets
kiss chase / stampede / british bulldog
having a full head of hair
xmas stocking
experiencing things for the first time
rewinding cassettes with a biro
innocence
sadly
no longer live near dartmoor for the slopes
no half pennies anymore
kiss chase - i think i'd get arrested and i'm a little on the stocky side to join the average playground game of the other two without breaking a few legs and getting arrested
xmas stocking - not without packing it myself and i'll be too busy wrapping presents for my little one
sure there are some things i could experience for the first time but not the really fun stuff
all my cassettes are gone, all my cds are gone i could spin a vinyl on a broom handle but probably not worth it and buying cassettes again is too retro cool for me
definitely lost my innocence for good aged 9
Parappa the Rapper
Also, Jet Grind Radio
Wagon Wheels being the size of dinner plates...possibly.
Summer holidays seemed to last a really long time
Throwing rocks in fresh cow pats.
Sucking on flannels
not the same anymore
I did that too.
Damn, kids are weird.
playing the year above/year below at football at lunch
