If you could bring back one experience from your childhood...

Teenage years count according to the OP but I guess that's a little late.

I often wish that I still had that childhood perception of time as an adult.

^ Yep, I was going to mention a similar solution to Psy-Fi's problem. Jean-Paul Sartre recommended that you go sit all day in a dentist's waiting room if you feel time is passing too quickly. I can also recommend playing Ambient 1: On Land and twenty mins will feel like eternity.

No bikes in my childhood because of the London traffic but I remember hours of aimless walking in agreeable company. Usually I was in a v small group of just one or two others, which was too small for most sports, though we'd often take a tennis ball along in case we felt like playing handball against some suitable wall:

Twenty minutes of either one of those albums would be fine with me.

I think they are meant to keep the cover from crushing down on the cheese.

But what do I know.

They're tables for tiny guests ffs. And they're still around.

^ Sorry, I posted without checking. In fact I thought Ambient 1: Music For Airports was a beautiful album and I have often used it to chill out from work stress. It was Ambient 4: On Land which was too minimal for my liking - that's the one I meant to post about.

I miss powering up a Furbie and hiding it in my sister's room so that it'd keep her up all night

^ah yes, sibling sadism. My sister and I slept in bunk beds and she slept in the upper one, and when her hair hung over the edge I used to wake her up by pulling it

My little siblings better be glad they were never born or I'd make them wish they were dead.
