did you like playing with water when you were a kid? email this discussion to a friend?

my nephew just splashed me with water! on the face!>. < he was playing with water outside the house a while ago and i was watching him while i was holding my cellphone (because i was texting an officemate). he was swinging a small bucket with water and i told him he should be careful because he might accidentally splash water on my cellphone.

but he didn't splash water on my cellphone. he splashed water to me! on my face! right after i said that he should be careful, he put a little water on what seems to be a turtle toy and splashed the water to me! and it went straight to my face. and he was happy and laughing and i couldn't do anything but laugh. lol

i can't remember playing with water when i was a kid but i think i enjoyed taking a bath then, and until now of course.^__^;; although i remember this one incident when me and my youngest sister, already teenagers then, acted like kids and splashed water to each other all of a sudden! i think that was St. John the Baptist's day and it was tradition in other towns to hold a parade in the streets and splash water to all the people. we just followed the tradition even if it weren't really followed in our town. lol

so did you like playing with water when you were still a kid?

no not that much. i used to play with water when i used to try to wash doll's clothes and so. but i did not use to play in taht sense with water. i liked to take bath though.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

hi subha! when i was little i used to "wash" my doll. adults would say its bad coz it might cause a rain according to superstitions. i stopped washing my dolls since they don't get easily dirty anyway. but not because it might cause rain. happy

Kids love to play with water, all my nephews love to swim and play water gun. But me? I cannot remember, though I know I love swimming too.But not as much as kids love it today. When you tell my nephews and nieces about swimming they all jump with excitement.:)

good to hear you're cellphone didn't get wet:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

oh yeah! water guns! kids love them! they just fire to anything and anywhere and anyone! i think its cute and funny as long as the one that would be squirted with water is a fun-loving person. i also don't encounter difficulties in inviting my niece and nephew to go swimming. they are always up for it. happy

Yeah, we often had water pistols, water bombs and gang wars with it thumbup

Especially on hot sunny days happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

that's a trend to many kids in our neighborhood too! when my nephew and niece plays with water bombs, i get irked actually because they would bring it inside the house and wet the floor which i don't like to happen.>. <


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

I guess their gang water wars are too big in scale that the outside neighborhood isn't enough and that the insides of your house would often be among the casualties... lol

I wish I could call up my old friends and do it again, now that we're big, we might as well have bigger water pistols and plenty of water balloons to throw cool


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

lol you'll still play with water guns despite your age?? you would look really funny and childish. but then, its good to be a kid once in a while. wink


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

Hehehe, if your all into it, no one would be embarrassed, I guess..

I would pour ice cold water into my water balloons and have them drenched with red crepe paper thumbup so when they hit on targets, I wonder if they'll keep on dodging or intentionally catch them lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

if it were me i would catch it carefully to prevent it from "exploding" and splashing the contents at me.^__^;;


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

If I knew that you'd be catching them, I'd be throwing them so hard, catching them intact would only be possible if you caught it with its flow and not simply grabbing it while running its course and trajectory cool


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

you really thought about that huh? impact and trajectory and all that.. but i was a softball player. i think i'll be able to catch that water balloon without splashing water to myself. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

Then I just have to be generous on throwing multiple water balloons, from above, straight at front, from the sides but, not from behind. rasp

Let's see how your softball prowess can handle that..


Oh yeah, did you go to SM Mega Mall recently for that Otakuzine thing you mentioned in one of your discussions? Please tease me that you did go... glare


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

okay! i give up! let the water balloons rain on me! but i'm going to fight back! i have water balloons too! ho ho ho!

gaaah! i wasn't able to go to Otakuzine! i went to Hundred islands! lol i was disappointed i wasn't able to go to that anime event but i'm sure there will be next time. the Hundred Islands escapade once in a lifetime. and i sure did enjoy there! woohoo! i love swimming! lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

Wow, you know how to swim?

I sure do want to learn how.. doh

I see that you also had that "suddenly unexpected stuff" that made you deviate from the event.. confused

You did island hoping while you swam? Planted flags while at it on each island? surrender


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

you don't know how to swim?? lol i wonder how many more guys i would meet that doesn't know how to swim.^__^;;

we didn't really plant a flag on every island that we went to. we just kissed the ground. lol just kidding. we stopped by in a few islands and just passed by a few before settling to one island to go swimming. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

Nice!!

I really don't know how to swim.. all I could do is stay underwater for a few seconds, more so if I have goggles that also includes the nose. Flapping my hands upward so that I would be pushing myself downward.

Kissed the land? I only see those when people have stayed on ships for a long and exhausting time.. like how ship wrecked crews do. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

you should learn how to swim. it makes an outing at the beach or in a pool resort more fun. i swear. wink
its been years ago since i i stepped on a beach so i had enough reasons to kiss the ground. lol just kidding. i didn't. really.^__^;;


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

You don't say...

Of course its more fun! lol I have no idea what else the water at the beach or at the pool is for aside from swimming for those who go there..

My apologies, that was sarcastic.. blush

I totally agree with you, it is more fun than staying on one spot and then moving on to the next by just walking slowly towards it. I mean, I really do want to learn how.

I don't want to go to an outing and be carried away by the waves if by chance it was at a beach.. It would really be awkward if someone saves me, a girl perhaps, and brings me to shore unconscious.

Then again, they might think that I'm only acting since I am tall and drowning seems to distant for me.^0^


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

lol nobody would really believe that you can drown if you're tall. people might think you just want to get saved by a girl to get her attention and phone number. lol just kidding. i'm sure it will be easy for you to learn how to swim. and i'm sure you know someone who can teach you. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

Time and opportunity are just some of the luxuries I don't have sad I think I could also include money with those two I mentioned lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

that's just too bad. maybe you can learn how to swim in Manila Bay or in Pasig River. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. ratyz5 (1841)   ranked 153 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

Perhaps rolleyes


myLot reputation of 80/100. fwangaa (812)   ranked 1,203 out of 1,450 in children  2 months ago

i don't know whether i was like water as i was a child.i think i don't like .beacause i hated washing face and head.
but i saw my little cousins like it.they usually staied with basin all of the day.and the parents warning them many times and they also plaied water.so i think most of the child likes playing water.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  2 months ago

hi fwangaa. maybe you are the opposite. maybe you were afraid of water.^__^;;

I like playing with water when I was a kid. Me and my cousins used to play in the rain too=) I believe water is my favorite element. I really do love to swim and do household chores that requires water like washing the dishes or doing laundry=)


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

maybe your elemental symbol according to your astrological sign is water. that's why you love it. for me, my elemental symbol is fire. happy

i liked playing in water.but i cant swim.i remember that i was almost sweeped away when i was playing in the river.That's a dangerious experience.i fear deep water now.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

its very dangerous to swim in a river especially if the current is strong. and its dangerous for people who can't swim. i guess i was lucky because i grew up beside a lake and i just had to learn how to swim. but i also fear deep water and big waves. i just avoid going to deeper parts.

Hi dear secretbear, water play and sand play are always the favorite games of almost every kid including me of course.
During my preschool stage I was living by the side of a small orchard. There was a small river about 2 km away behind my house. I could see women washing clothes and some bathing in the water. Some naked little children and some older ones were playing and splashing in the water. I quite envied them and eagerly hoped that I was one of them. But my mom forbad me to go near the river unless someone who was good in swimming to accompany me there. Finally I had got what I wished as my cousin brother visited us and had holidays here for a couple of weeks. I then had the opportunity to learn to swim in the river almost everyday and enjoyed the fun of splashing water to each other in the meanwhile. Thought I liked playing water splashing, my little hands always couldn’t fight the two big palms so I had to surrender all the time.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

hi ikbooi! that's a really nice childhood story you got there. it was a good thing that you were able to play in the river with your cousin. i understand your mother for forbidding you to play in the river. it can really be dangerous.


myLot reputation of 98/100. lkbooi (4748)   ranked 138 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

Hi dear secretbear, pleasant and beautiful remembrance of a kid could never fade though it had happened long long ago. So I think it is nice to let our children to experience some events which could become their unforgettable fascinating memories. By the way thanks for the best response awarded. happy Happy posting and bye.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  5 months ago

you're welcome. thumbup

i have only a few good childhood memories. not because i made a few but because my memory is not that good.^__^;; i have friends who can't really believe how i forgot something great we did before. and i kinda envy those who have good memory abilities. happy

One of the best presents I had as a child was this water pistol! I would take it everywhere with me and fill it up and squirt it, it was fun, I was naughty enough to squirt the dog with it. I had my own paddling pool as well but being the only child it wasn't as much fun on my own, I would make little boats and float them in the water. I had loads of fun when mum used to take me down to the sea so that I could play in the sea and build sandcastles, fond memories. I was always a water baby, even though I didn't learn to swim till I was 18!


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4656)   ranked 36 out of 1,450 in children  6 months ago

really?? you didn't know how to swim until you were 18??^__^;; but then, i guess its better than the people who doesn't know how to swim. yeah, the dogs are always the victim of water pistol. that's common here too. poor dogs. and cats.
