What was it and why do you remember it so fondly? This is about your childhood, not someone else's. A post of 300+ words is the minimum requirement and use photos you took yourself if you can." ![Divisor morado.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/purpleglitter/243M3GPgAkvrgYAMBp6APVvVyNd2A82ULzXWhpukyzufYRqu9LBt8RShaMNrfr9nnzETb.jpg)

The brain is made of **habits.** Things are engraved in it that surface, even without knowing it, in the form of sudden memories or habits that we practice and that apparently have no reason. When my brothers and I were children, my mother used to make or buy us snacks. She couldn't always do it, but there were many times when we ate 😋 The time was always at four o'clock, in the afternoon. So as soon as it got close to four o'clock we would eagerly start jumping up and down and shouting: **"Snack time! Snack time!"** It was very funny 🤣 When it was bought, my mom would ask us one by one: *"What are you going to have?"* Each one of us would choose what we wanted. I would always choose a strawberry or orange flavored lollipop (I love sour), and then we would watch **cartoons, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or Power rangers** 😁 ![IMG20230218154049_00.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/purpleglitter/Ep1WpihWQxhdXzyfzZo1YgL5La7WXDTAcyvZagVBKnJpZnZMEvFLtcNRv91Lh7JXXPq.jpg) If my mom made snack, she usually cooked sweet cornmeal fried sticks with ketchup and mayonnaise 🤤 a treat 😋 So the afternoon would go in: watch TV, eat snack and do homework for the next day. We really enjoyed those afternoons (minus doing homework 😄). Hence, even today, although more than 20 years have passed, at home we always joke about it. We say: *"It's snack time! What are we going to do?"* And if we can, we don't miss the opportunity to bake something like a cake, some popcorn, or we buy some lollipops 😋 Today, I enjoy making snacks for her, my siblings and my husband. That's why the one thing _**I choose from my childhood is that four o'clock afternoon snack. I choose it, I value it and I remember it, not because of what we ate per se, the material, but because my mother showed us love with it 💞**_ There are many parents who sacrifice for their children to have the most important things, and also, for those little things that, although they are not so important, brighten up the days of any child. When she could with her salary as a kindergarten teacher, which was not enough, she made the effort to give four children a sweet afternoon. How not to remember that with affection? 💜 Thank you very much @galenk for making me remember and think about this so special for me.
