Childhood memories we all had
childhood is literally the fun portion of our lives and it's rare not to have a childhood filled with happiness and drama and it's at this stage we earned a lot of friends and opposer at the same time, reason because we really don't have the initiative to distinguish at that moment of our lives and we either regard enemies as friends and the real friends we think they are the enemies, though the same mistake is still encountered in the adulthood.
Though we look back on our childhood days and don't laugh or grin, we didn't take advantage of the opportunities childhood provided for us to be defiant, lively, and fun, obnoxious, and brawling even when we knew we couldn't beat our opponent.

I will share some childhood recollections we all have partaken and it either leads to being disciplined or being whipped which are
1. mistakingly shattering a ruler in half while trying to test how flexible it was.
I remember this occurrence as if it happened yesterday because it was actually my friend ruler I actually snapped into two and he had to report me to the class teacher and she had to give me a few strokes of a cane and later I remembered I went to meet my friend later and told him we are no longer friends and it was actually funny when I remember this but I'm sure in the next few hours I told him we're no longer friends we played when it was a break.
2. waking up early and getting well dressed and preparing for school only to discover it was weekend
The school was fun then though so we love going to school each day to meet our friends, I think this happened while I was still in primary school, I slept very early the previous day and when I woke up I actually thought it was on a Monday meanwhile it was Friday.
3. balancing light switch between on and off
I think most of us have done this before and I remember Those days I do and sometimes I mistakingly put off the light often and it usually leads to punishment and afterward, I do try it whenever my parents are not around.
4. closing refrigerator to see when the light goes off
this is another recollection I do this a lot and anytime I'm sent to get anything from the refrigerator in the kitchen I do try this experiment, though I still try it sometimes till now 😂😂
5. talking into the fan to hear your voice sound weird o making robot voices.
I actually don't know how I discovered this but I know I try this anytime when I'm close to a fan and sometimes I do Rap and make some weird voices and call out people names.
6. pushing our eyes until some weird pattern appears
This is usually done mostly on boring days in class whereby the teacher class is boring and you can't talk while class is going on, so we have no option but to play with our eyes by pushing the side and we begin to see distinct patterns.
7. falling asleep in a car and waking up on the bed
This often happens whenever we go on a long journey or when there's traffic and it's late already and we usually get tired of this situation since we don't have android gadgets to play with and we eventually fall asleep and we discover we wake up on our bed the next morning. Though sometimes you're aware you're been carried but you just pretend to be asleep.
8. stabbing erasers with a pencil
This was mostly done back then in primary school and for no reason, we just puncture erasers until will make different holes in them and till today I still see some children doing that.
9. The thought of the moon following us
At that stage of our life we had no understanding of how the moon operate so whenever we move or walk it seems like the moon is following us and at a point, we keep opposing our friends that it's only following us meanwhile it's actually not the following anyone though it moves moves though but it's usually around the earth in an elliptical orbit
10. weekend movies
This is usually the most invaluable day and it's mostly Saturdays when we have nothing to do and all we do is to stare at the Tv till evening and sometimes our neighbor friends come over to join us and we usually regard the day as a movie day.
Final thoughts
I'm sure we all had similar childhood memories and most of them are similar and that's why this saying is popular most children think the same way because they are just developing. There are still memories I haven't shared like
putting on our parent's shoes and clothes
learning how to ride a bicycle.
imagining how to beat 5 to 20 bad guys at the same time
getting into trouble for things we didn't do mainly because we couldn't defend ourselves
hearing ice cream truck sound and we keep running after it just to get ice cream
contacting chickenpox, measles
scared of injection.
getting beaten up with a belt by parents
our first crush
Crying over what's never important
falling down from the bed.
visualizing being our famous superhero in movies
forgetting we had assignments from school
missing for some hours meanwhile, we were sleeping
impersonating being sick just to avoid going to school
There is this popular quote; happy time, happy moments, good and bad friends, comes and go but our childhood memories still stay with us.
thanks for reading 💙
I'm guilty with 3, 4 & 5. Haha It surely is fun being a child. Less responsibility, more time to play.
