    i think it's time go back now .. to the past .. when we were child ..

    so .. share what u miss about ur childhood .. i know u miss alot of things .. but there is important things u miss and u wish if u can do it now .. or live it again

    for me ..

    I miss my friends and cartoons.

    When I left school I lost touch with all of my friends. We never thought it'd happen but it did.
    I recently got back in touch with my best friend from school and we really hit it off. We get along just as good as we did back then, which is amazing as we've both changed a heck of a lot.

    As for cartoons, I really miss the old school stuff. I used to run home from school to watch cartoons and I'd often be late for school because of watching them in the morning.
    The cartoons the kids have these days are nothing compared to what I had.

    peace out

    I do miss Saturday morning cartoons - we're talking about the '50s now. I miss going fishing with my dad. Wandering the beach while on vacation looking for sand fleas. I miss running out the door barefooted and not worrying about hurting my feet - they were like cured leather. I miss going to Mama Childs house on Christmas morning and seeing the Christmas lights in the windows while we were on the road. Or trying to sleep on Christmas morning knowing Santa would be there soon.
    I miss checkers and dialing Fleetwood 54789 on the phone.
    Being on my Grandma's feather bed and seeing nothing but the ceiling.
    Those days are gone.

    Good question! Well, definately the no resposibility thing. I miss pet's that aren't here anymore. I still do a lot of childish thing's like scrape my knee's, climb trees, sleep with a teddy, watch cartoon's etc. I watch home video's a fair bit so I'm alway's reminiscing on past stuff, and remembering. So in a way, I miss it, but feel grateful I can still see it.

    I miss so much. I wish I could go back so often but I have to appreciate the here and now.

    I wouldn't mind having the summers off again though...

    The freedom to come and go as a little guy when no one thought about danger to kids. The thrill of getting my first bike when I was 9 and finding that my best friend had gotten one also. (picture of my fancy bike in my hip gallery)Playing hide and seek in the city park across the street from my house until 11 or 12 o:clock even when I was 7 years old. Turning the picnic benches upside down so that we could float around at night listening to the owls in the trees when they flooded the park. Going to the movies for 12 cents and seeing what are now considered classics from the 3os-40s-50s. My friends and I interrupting our "adventures" to pass thru my house and grab a big piece of cake or pie that my gramma always had for us. Going to the coast-Pismo-and clamming with my family and eating the clam chowder and clam patties.

    We had christmas on xmas eve and everyone in the family would gather at my aunt's house to open the gigantic pile of xmas presents,one at a time. Every present would be passed around for all to admire and I always scored the most ,it seemed. It would take hours and the fog was so thick that time of year,you couldn't see anything 10 feet away from you. Even in the daytime. Fun for kids. The 3 types of fudge my gramma made for the occasion. I REALLY miss those gatherings--everyone is dead now except one cousin. Much ,much more--even tho I had some emotional probs---I had a wonderful childhood. As a teenager ,the fun only got better. Yup. Those were the days------------

    I miss being so intact with my imagination. pretending i was battling aliens with friends. i miss exploring, looking for weird bugs under logs and rocks. I miss waking up in my bed, staring at the beautiful trees being completely thoughtless

    Innocence - Trust - Belief
    As time goes on, cynicism grows, betrayal becomes more evident and conviction of conscience is tested
    Still - 'Tomorrow is another day', and in order to develop and evolve one has to (meThinks) consider the merits of simplicity of youth, hope and faith

    Playing outside with my childhood friend. We'd pretend we were living in a jungle so we'd take our shoes off and run around barefoot until we got blisters on our feet.
    I also miss coming home straight from school to watch Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon.

    This is a wonderful question. I miss the closeness I had with my friends. Our little group. I miss spending every night I could with my sweet grandparents. I miss having crushes and how exciting they were. (of course, there are still crushes, not quite the same feelings though) I miss those first love experiences. I miss free summers of swimming and nintendo games. I miss not having to worry. I miss family get togethers as there they aren't the same any longer. I miss how the world seemed so much less crazy. I miss a lot. :)

    The cool old cars from the 30s-40s-50s--you only see them (mostly) in movies now. That's all there were when I was young. The big bands like Glenn Miller and countless others that toured with some actually coming to the bandstand in the park across from my house. (No TV 'till the 50s) Didn't watch it anyway. Too busy doing-------uh--kid stuff. Seemed important at the time. Walking barefoot to the swimming pool at the high school EVERY day in the summer and knowing all the little places I could run to--to cool my burning feet in the 105 temperature. Sometime screwing up and jumping in a patch of puncture vines-(goatheads!!)All the pranks my friend Richard and I pulled,including jerking the side door to the movie theater open and throwing water balloons at the patrons and running like hell to get away. Oh-much more.
