Have you kept any memorabilia from your childhood?

I definitely still have my yearbooks, etc. I even have the price tag from my wedding dress. It was around $175. Such a bargain!!!

@looeyville No. there was no room for my memorabilia once my wife’s was installed. She’s a dreadful hoarder of such stuff. I have a couple of air tickets from the 70s and that’s it.

I still have my junior high and high school yearbooks, but I went to a small school so the year books were not the behemoths most people had. There was an Urkel doll I had (from Family Matters), where you pulled a string and it would say “Did I do that?”, “Got any cheese?”, and so on. I got it at the age of 7 specifically because I thought it would be funny to show my kids someday (ha ha). Unfortunately, about ten years ago, my dad came across it, and threw it out. I wasn’t upset, but I probably could have gotten $100 bucks for it now. It cost $7 back then. Other than that, I have nothing sentimental but my mom’s prayer journal. My sister has it now, but she shared it with me and my dad (no, she would not mind one bit).

I am very sentimental and have kept several things from my childhood. I have gone through a lot of my belongings in recent years and donated or gave to family members some things. My son is the deciding factor on what I keep. If something means something to him it stays.

Just my high school yearbook and memories.

I keep things. I have awards l won in high school. A picture of me and my first boyfriend on our first date. Clippings of news aricles from my first job as a reporter.... and some other stuff.

I guess the closest thing to that is my HS yearbook. My parents may have some of that stuff though.

I have school reports I think although I'm not sure where they are.

Perhaps I would have. But I lived in many places and so lost all my childhood articles. However, I cherish my childhood memories and I have kept them in my poems.
