Being free to be who I am. Kids can get away with expressing their creative side, their energies, just flopping down in the grass if they want. When you become an adult you are looked at like you are a bit strange if you decide to go out and make a snow angel or scream out loud just because. lol
Childhood was so free and innocent when I was young.
Being able to eat as much as I wanted and still be a skinny thing. I could still do that in my twenties, but not quite so much in my thirties. It does catch up with you.
There's something about a kid's imagination that is so much better than an adult. Not that I don't have lots of creative ideas, but kids are naturals at this. I think we used ours much more than the kids of today because we didn't have all the technology.
I miss having the energy of a kid. If I could have bottled that up back then and used it now.
I miss believing in the Easter Bunny and the egg hunts, the getting up early on Christmas morning and really thinking that Santa showed up, sitting an awe of fireworks, and staying up late on New Years Eve when staying up was a really special thing.
Yeah, I remember when I was a size 3. That was the good 'ole days. lol
I don't remember that size, but it would have been in grade school. I'm pretty sure I wore a size 9 by 9th grade. I was skinny back then. I think in high school I weighed no more than 115. Hmm, where did those days go lol.
I miss all the things that have been posted here so far...except for the horses. We didn't have any of those growing up. LOL
I often think about how nice it would be to go back and be a carefree child once more. For the most part, it was great growing up. But there were some bad times and some very hard times. I could do without those moments of course. But the rest would be wonderful. Not having to worry about anything and having someone else take care of you again...that would be so awesome! I guess now I can look forward to getting "old timers" and being in a nursing home before I have someone to take care of me again.
I also miss my mom's cooking. She was the best cook and she made everything from scratch that she grew in our garden. I regret that I never learned to can things from the garden the way she did. I still call her for recipes and tips on how to cook things quite often. Even though I use the same ingredients and cook it the same way, it still just don't taste like hers did. Everything tasted so much better when mom cooked it!
Before I married, I copied all my favorite recipes from my mom. It took me 3 months of sitting down to write all those. It would take me a lot longer now because she has even more.
I miss my mom's cooking as well.. she was a by-the-seat-of-your-pants cook but a good one. I think that's where I learned to cook as well, by watching her.
I miss laying on the ground and watching the clouds go by [and it not even dawning on me that I was getting ants and bugs in my hair. Not to mention grass stains either.].
Gosh, it was great being a young!
I have to applaud my mom and dad for making being an adult 'look' so easy, so I could enjoy just being a kid!
I may not be an adult yet, but my childhood years still feel like eons away. I miss going to missionetts every Wed. night, playing made up games with my best friend, laying in the grass watching the clouds go by and making it a game of what they looked like, but most importantly not having to worry about the future.

Hi Lilly. I loved laying in the grass watching the clouds when I was young too.
So how many times have you gone to see "Twilight: The New Moon" now? I've seen it twice already and plan to buy the video when it comes out.

It may seem like eons ago, but you've learned what many have failed to grasp-- To let go of the bad and to cherish the good.
I miss summers off
goiter pills
daily bike rides to the swimming pool and swimming all day and night
I miss body surfing at point beach
I miss 5¢ pinball and how a $1.00 kept me playing for a very long time
backyard campouts with all those friends, talking a walk around town at 3am
I miss the old neighborhood and days by the lake and fishing with a daredevil
I even miss the stuff I have forgotten

....Now, a very great man once said
That some people rob you with a fountain pen
It didn’t take too long to find out
Just what he was talkin’ about
A lot of people don’t have much food on their table
But they got a lot of forks ’n’ knives
And they gotta cut somethin’....
