The Best Child Hood Memorys

[Icicle]

Ok all this was inspired by the Age thread located here:
Age

Ok the rules:
1. just have fun.

with that said I will start.

I remember trying to pull one of my baby teeth, I tied a string around my tooth and the other end to a spare tire with about 25' of slack. then I rolled the tire down the hill and saw the slack in the string getting shorter, then I freak and chased the tire, I could not catch it and put a big dent in the back door.
Having a blast on my first motorcycle a little suzuki jr 50. my first crash was in the parking lot of the store, I couldn't stop in time and ran in to a brick wall.
Being able to cook eggs alone when I got up before my mom and dad.
Man How I loved my eggs back then, Now I don't even like them.
Steeling that first kiss from the girl you liked. I think I was six when I did that.
Getting My first Single shot .22 bolt action rifle when I was 7. I had that rifle untill I was 21 the the ex-wife boy friend stole it. And I never found it.

I once tried to break ice with concrete blocks by slamming them down onto the ice with one hand. Lets just say my middle finger got in between the ice and the concrete. I had a split on it and walked around with my middle finger up 24/7.

We used to have fights with those large green walnuts, man was that dumb and those things hurt! I just got stitches on my knee and got nailed with one of them in the knee. There went the stitches

Going out frog-egg hunting, wearing my big black boots, torn-up overalls and white(well it started out white) cotton T-shirts with my hair up in pigtails or just flying around like crazy... Chasing bullfrogs around through the crick and swimming after geese... Then finding myself somehow up to my armpits in mud and having a mild freakout how it might be quick-mud and I'd be stuck there forever, die, and get eaten by the geese...

But then I'd catch sight of a huge old bullfrog and somehow extricate myself and go after the bullfrog... Somehow when my back was turned I'd always get mobbed by the mother of the goslings I was just chasing... More than once I went home to have to go to the ER and get stitches in the back of my head 'cause of those stupid mother geese.(7-10 yo)

Or the time I got stranded in a tree by a bull... (10yo)

Or the time my step-dad told me he'd give me $5 if I could ride one of the sheep in the pasture near where we were fishing at the time. He never did give me that $5 - but I managed to stay on for what seemed like an hour before the sheep rolled over and kicked me in the side when I fell off. (8yo)

Awww, and of course my first boyfriend. I pushed him off a roof we were playing on by accident. He suggested we have a- er, well a contest of sorts, and I whacked him hard on the shoulder and he fell off the roof and broke his ankle. So I spent the summer over at his house almost every day playing cards with him and putting tape on his cat's feet, or bringing him the cool bullfrog I just caught. (9yo)

Ah... there are so many. I miss being a kid.

I also remember him catching me a green snake and I pretended it was a green mamba. I was six and knew what a mamba was

Catching my first huge fish (huge, when you're 7 years old), with my dad. It was a 13lb Dolly (Char) and I almost got dragged down the bank, into the river when it hooked the lure and took off. Good times.

Just being a kid, and running along through the floodpools along a river-bank, because most of them were only about a half a foot deep.. until I did a nosedive into one that was about four-feet deep and couldn't right myself in time. Last thing I remember from that, was clambering out of it, soaking wet, and my Dad roaring with laughter at me from the riverbank.

Going to Ireland and visiting Shane's Castle. Me and Mom went adventuring around the Castle grounds and she wandered into the lower barracks, or something.. dunno, they were tunnels leading under the castle. I followed her, and while we were down there, Mom heard something and got this creepy chill up her spine and tore off running for the exit, leaving me in the dark, flailing around and hollering because I couldn't keep up.

Getting in constant fights with my cousin about who was the boss, when we were all outside playing. I can't count how many times we'd push each other down the hill. There was some major rivalry going on, there!

And the time I tried cutting my brother's hair, because it was getting long, and I didn't think boys should have long hair. I chopped it up so bad he had to get his whole head shaved bald the very next day..

I could write a book with all of my childhood memories. LOL.

I'll just share a stupid one because that's what most of mine are, anyway.


A friend and I learned the hard way that a frozen pond in the backyard is cool, but Roller Blades DO NOT work in lieu of ice skates....

Walking through a frozen quarter mile pond with a friend when I was eight or nine. It just froze over and we decided to leave the house and walk the whole distance. I remember in the middle we were both so dang scared. The friend, Nathan was bigger than me and his leg went through! He was so cold but finally got it out. He was shivering so bad that he limped and I almost had to hold him the entire walk home!
When an uncle took me to a frog pond and I caught peepers and he caught big Bulls and Greens when I was four.
TBH

Great thread, ice man. I had to think hard cause I don't have very many good childhood memories. But the best is when I was 7. I remember making out with my little boyfriend Steve in a dugout the neighborhood kids built. He was a cute, blond, older boy, and I "stole him away" from a 9-year-old girl. (This was the scandal of the neighborhood. lol) I was boy-crazy even at 7. We hung out with all the neighborhood kids and slow danced on the basketball court behind Steve's house. I was so sad when he moved away and I never saw him again.

What?

Oh, how could I forget! The truly best childhood memories were going fishing with my stepfather. We caught trout, catfish, or bass, depending on where we went. It was always my job to clean and cook them, too. One day we fished in a river, and I caught a huge bass--probably about 13" long. I don't know why we did this, but we let it swim in our bathtub for 3 days before freezing it. As much as I loved those times, I cannot bring myself to hook and kill a fish any more.
