Greetings to everyone in #hiveReachout community and all hivers. My childhood memories are numerous but I will be writing on the following memories.
Hunting of Rat, Lizard, and Grasshopper, playing with mud and cooking mud food, dancing competition and skipping rope.
During my childhood, I had the most powerful and funny wonderful stories with my friends growing up in the village.I was known as Ogundele the great and fearless hunter.I was the leader among my friends. we are always armed with tools like sticks, stones, and nets for our hunting activities. Our mission? To catch those rats, lizards, and grasshoppers that roamed our neighborhood.

We always set traps, and lie in wait for hours, our hearts racing with excitement. It was pure bliss each time we catch any rat or lizard or grasshopper. Those carefree days taught me teamwork, patience, and the value of perseverance.
Cooking with mud is another wonderful thing.

In our mud kitchen, my friends and I would become master chefs, cooking up delicious "mud meals" and "sand snacks." We' always collect mud, water, and various leaves to cook mud food. Our imaginations ran wild as we cooked up treats for our dolls, stuffed animals, or even willing siblings.
After cooking the rubbish,we will then share it and begin to use our cheeks as mouth for eating.
Those muddy childhood experiences taught me creativity, resourcefulness, and the joy of experimentation.
Hide and seek is one of the popular game that children never joke with.One of my nicknames during my childhood is
Hide and Seek Champion. I don't know if anyone of you who also played Hide and seek game still remember the statement below?
"Ready or not, here I come!" Those words still echo in my mind, transporting me back to our great hide-and-seek battles. We always do everything to find the perfect hiding spot – behind trees, under beds, or inside cardboard boxes. Hahaha 🤣.
Those games taught me strategy, quick thinking, and the value of teamwork.
Dancing competition is another beautiful thing I was deeply during my childhood.
Dancing makes me feel good but I don't know how to do it perfectly.I always give a funny dancing steps
Our dance competitions in those days were legendary! We often gather in the neighborhood square, put on our favorite music, and show off our best moves.we dance our hearts out.
Those carefree dance parties taught me confidence, self-expression, and the joy of letting loose .
Let me laugh small before I write on this one.🤣🤣🤣🤣.I was a great sneaker. I always sneak from school to look for mushrooms

for my mother to avoid being beaten for leaving school before the closing hour.
Ah, the mischief! My friends and I would occasionally sneak out of school, eager to explore the world beyond the classroom. We always plan our escape, dodging teachers and monitors, and make a break for freedom.We hate labour with passion in those days.Everyday my the mark where My name is in attendance register is marked half way.
Those daring activities taught me resourcefulness, quick thinking, and the importance of taking calculated risks. But today I am not recommending it!
Skipping rope was also one of my favorite
