Climbing a tree.Licking an ice candy.Playing dress up.Exchanging tazos(that disc like thing you used to get with Lays).Playing house.Collecting pretty rocks.Squeezing my eyes shut thinking that no one will see me if I do.Trying to give my Barbie a haircut.My mom making tiny dresses for my Barbies.Learning how to swim properly because my least favourite friend advanced from the 'baby pool' to the 'big pool'.Playing Little Mermaid.A tree house still in construction.Racing.Playing football in the rain.8 stitches.Tears.A dictionary I guarded with my life.Crayons strewn across the floor.Drawing on the walls(and getting spanked for it).UNO matches till 3 am.Cheating during hide and seek.Wondering why he always followed me around.A teddy bear with one button eye.Ghost stories.Laughter.Water balloons being hurled.My friend determined to help me get over my fear of crackers.A mickey mouse clip.Hair that would never stop being wavy.Seven stones.The ripping of my skirt while trying to climb a tree(Don't worry I was only 8 or something).Burying my pet fish.Catching butterflies and keeping them as pets.Cry to find them dead the next morning.Decorating a real Christmas tree.Feeding jam to my second pet(a fly).Skipping competitions.Carefree.Making a fort out of mud.Baking a cake.Receiving my first pair of ghungroos from my Kathak guru.Jumping on a bed.A half-smile.Suppandi jokes.
I don't have a particular childhood memory, there are countless memories.Thought I'd share a few that are at the back of my mind :-)
Reminds me so much of my child hood when it comes to dress up and cutting barbie doll's hair..haha
