Best Childhood memories

BTown · 05-09-2011, 04:47 PM

One that sticks out is one day I came home off the bus in like 4th or 5th grade and in the driveway my parents were sitting there with a brand new ATV and had some snacks and **** ready for my sister and we just rode it like the whole day.

We also had a sick trampoline. I would go on it and my dad would stand far away form it in the grass and just throw me the ball for hours.

Other stuff like building a tree house with my dad and fishing with my mom dad and sister were really special. We went to Disney World and plenty of other **** but those kind of things don't even compare.

What are your guys best memories of childhood?

When I'd get pokemon cards, that was probably one of the high points of my day. Once, I remember seeing an opened thing of pokemon cards in Target and my mom said "take them" and so I walked out the door with cards in my pocket. I think that was the first shoplifting experience I had ever had. Oh, and the look on my face when I got a hold of a Japanese Mew, man, I cried tears of joy.

^ The Pokemon phase was quite enjoyable. My mom would never buy me single cards (probably due to the fact that they went north of $100 for the best ones), so I'd always get my hopes up that I'd get Charizard in a pack of cards.

Cottaging is my main one, whether it be with family or friends. We'd go up there for weeks at a time when I was younger.

Yeah dude I remember having a pokemon themed birthday party or some ****. I loved playing Pokemon Stadium on N64. I think some of the happiest times ive had playing a video game were Paper Mario The Thousand Year Old Door. SNEs was sick too.

I have many great childhood memories. Some of the most poignant involved me getting hurt though. Not to say they weren't fun. They were awesome.

I didn't have video games or internet and all that, but I sure did idolize McGuyver, and when I wasn't training to be a ninja in the back yard with misshapen sticks I'd sharpened to points on the cement, I was failing at making effective parachutes and bungee cords. My most crowning moments were the ever-dumb "garbage-bag parachute" tests off the roof of my house, and also the misconception that regular 2-foot bungee cords made for strapping things down would suffice as bungee cords to jump from the roof with.

I did a lot of roof jumping. Fortunately I never broke anything.
I also had great times in tree forts.

Ah the good old Pokemon days. I remember having a whole collection of movies, toys, cards, and a bunch of pokemon accesories. I don't know how my parents put up with all our begging. But the real memories come from my brother, cousins, friends and I all playing Yu-Gi-Oh. Yeah that's right, Yu-Gi-Oh, don't give me ****, it was a fun game. I'm talking first generation cards here, none of those new Ultra-Dynamic-Secret-Hybrid Rares or whatever they are called nowadays. We would have tournaments outside, it was so much fun. Playing for keeps, I remember shedding some tears when we played for our valuable cards and I lost, those were the real hardcore games right there. Those were the good old days. Going out to the store, buying a pack and opening it in front of everyone, with all the excitement that pieces of paper brought to you. Damn I miss those days. I don't miss the hundreds of dollars put in though, but it was worth it.

I jumped off a lot of stuff too dude. I tried umbrellas after I played Mario and Kirby.

I still play Pokemon actually. The actual game, not the card game. I'm currently raising an Arcanine, Dragonite, Exeggutor, Rhydon, Lapras, and I'm trying out some others for my last spot. Right now I'm toying around with a Paras.
