Random things you miss from your childhood

my youth

A reliable bowel movement.

Blissful ignorance

Not having to work M-F 8-5.

Summer vacation.

My grandma’s fried chicken. No one could duplicate it, not even my mom.

My 72 Cutlass

The lovely scent of grandfather’s Bentley

The sight of grandmother’s freshly polished mahogany credenza

My $10,000 a week allowance

The smell of freshly cut grass on our croquet course

When I was a child, it didn't seem like the weather affected me. Our parents would tell us to "wrap up" and you go outside and you are worried about the shite going down with the other kids that it was like the cold didn't phase me. Wish I was still like that.

Not hurting....every fricking joint......every game in every sport I played.....I am paying the bill.

This....

and the smell of creosote pilings... We had a house in Waveland when I was a kid.. The smell of creosote always brings me back to those days fishing from my grandfather's pier.

If i went back, and it was cold like this, and i was off of school, i'd usually go walk to my grandma's house. She lived next to an indian mound that was overgrown with brush. I used to shoot birds all day long up there.
