Things you miss about being a child....

Being able to sleep as much as you want when you want would be my top thing. Then no bills. As a child you never think about bills. YOu do think about getting a job and having a home and family but bills is the last thing you think of growing up. Not worrying about the way you look. As a child I was rather small. I weighed around 70 just before puberty and always at 100 up until i got on birth control. So I never really worried about my looks and what I ate. NOw its if you eat to much chocolate its going to make you sick and your gain a pound or two. Got to go to the gym and work out that cake I ate after lunch. I am not to concious of my weight now but back when I was growing up it was far off my mind. I guess all the worries in life you get as an adult you dont get as a child and i miss that.

I miss the most will be: Games - 'You're It', Marco Polo, Hide and Seek, Cooking show, Building Bed-sheet Camps, ect. Food - Mess food with hands, Blowing Bubbles in Soda with Straw, Playing with Ice Cubes, ect. I can keep the list going, but all we need now is to allocate some time!

Oh, I miss school days it was fun. We use to sit under the trees and have discusson among ourselves, play dandy shandy with the boys, play water war and just to name a few. We plan our little fun filled adventures, we go to the skating rink, go to the zoo, the movies and the pantomine. We have a whole lot of fun, it was exciting, we mix with the boys to go every where.Sometime we just sit and give jokes about one another. We even joke with the teahers, that's how wonderful it was.

I miss making perfume out of water and rose petals,not having responsibilities and the one i miss the most is eating what ever i wanted and not putting on weight

well, i am quite lucky in the sense that i did all the things that a typical child did in our days. playing marbles,flying kites,stick hockey,etc.

looking at the kids these days, they hardly play any outdoor games. either they are watching cartoons on television or on the computer surfing the net.

I miss not having any noticeable responsibility. It was grand. I don't remember anybody, you know, looking for me to live up to any huge expectations. I was not responsible for anything important as a kid. I just did the average kid type stuff. And no body had anything to say about it.

Now though? Nah! I'm expected to actually do things in life. Not just every other week, or three days out of a seven day period. No no no. I have to do things, multiple things at that, on a daily basis. Looking back now, I don't think I appreciated my childhood as much as I should have. I slept a lot at one point. That was a big mistake. Wish I could get a mulligan on all those naps I took. I was a well rested chap up until the 9th grade. There weren't enough hours in the day in my high school years.

Not having to work.
Not having to work.
Not having to work.

Also being able to take off for long walks and nobody would look for me until dinner time. Being able to skate without falling down. Not being overweight. Not being in pain. Paper dolls. Arts and crafts. Everything except for the powerlessness of being a child...

I miss not having to work and pay bills.

I would have to say the ignorance of life. You don't know what its like in real life so you never have to worry about it. We never really had to worry about "Stranger Danger" because everyone we met was a friend of a friend. I miss being able to do all of the things my son asks me to do like teach him to ride a bike, jump rope, or even play in the rain. Now that I'm old and out of shape, playing with my son is one of the hardest things to do.

I miss the happy and days without worries and pressure when I was a child. I could have longer vacation at that time. All I had to do is to have a good result for the exams. Compare to today's life, I think I can still stand it.

I love China
