Hello my dear friends. Happy weekend. Today I want to participate in the contest of my friend of the weekend with the theme of childhood, our memories.
In this post I will use photos of my grandchildren and from when I was studying because I don't actually have photos from when I was a child. So all photos are my property.
What happy or valued childhood moment is your go-to or the first you think of when reminiscing about the fun times you had as a child or youth. What was the moment, where did it happen, what happened in it and why is it so memorable?
Oh well, when I think of my childhood I always think of the time when I was playing with my father, that he was not the one who fathered me, but he adopted me as his daughter and I him as my real father. Around there they say that the father is not the one who begets but the one who raises, since they make very strong ties like the one I had with the one who gave me his surname and his love.
Every afternoon when he came back from work, I would take off his shoes and socks and look for his slippers. Then he would bathe and have dinner and then we would play to place my hands on his hands and if he put his hands together and I did not take mine I would lose, a silly game but for me it was a spectacular game because the attention he gave me lending was invaluable to me.
Children entertain themselves with little, but coming from the person that you have as a father image and who spends time with you is very important for a child since he feels valued and taken into account. It is one of the things I will never forget about my father.
Tell us about an embarrassing, funny or awkward moment you had as a child - You don't have to have gotten hurt like me of course. What happened, why did it happen, what resulted from the event and was their any lasting implications.
Next to my house was a house that they were building, there were only the foundations and the roof. My brothers and I used to go in there to play. One day I took a stone and threw it up and ran away.
I don't know how, but the stone hit me and it fell on my head starting to bleed. My brothers were scared and called my mother to heal me. I remember rubbing a cloth with kerosene on me and applying coffee powder (old beliefs)
Never, never, never apply these things to a wound since instead of healing you could infect. From this I had a scar and a hollow on my head.
Tell us, if you dare, a naughty or mischievous moment from your childhood - Explain what you did, what the event was, how it worked out, what trouble you got into and all the juicy details - Don't say anything that may get you in trouble with the police.
I was never a naughty girl, my sister always took the beatings of all 5 sisters. But if it was a girl who liked to do her homework at school. One day I had to bring a pair of scissors to class and I had asked my mother for it.
The day came I got one that had a bent tip (the kind you use to cut your nails) So I took the scissors and took a hammer and started straightening the scissors. The scissors were damaged, I couldn't take it to school, nor was it more useful for cutting my nails, and I earned a tremendous beating like the ones only my mother knew how to give us.
Did you have a secret hideaway, in reality or your imagination, to which you'd escape from the world around you and play? Did you have a fantasy world of your own creation, an imaginary friend or some such thing? If you're keen share it with us please do so.
I love the beach. It is a landscape that makes me dream and takes me far in my thoughts. One day my mother took us for a walk with several family and friends to the beach.
I remember that I separated myself enough from the group to play in the sand that the wave carried away every time it came ashore. When we left my mom had to look for me for a long time to find me. That is my place of relaxation and distraction.
Is there a moment in time, in your childhood, you would like to go back to and re-live again? Please tell us about the moment and why you'd like to live it again, why was it so special to you?
Right now I would like to go to the beach. It would feel like that day when I got into my game with my doll and forgot about everything. Sometimes it is good to detach from everything and let yourself be carried away by your beautiful thoughts and childhood memories are the best.
