This is going to be the final part of my article that was published yesterday. I was talking about childhood memories most of us had as a kid and I mentioned I will post pictures of things some of us might recognize. In case you haven't read the first part, check it out here: Fun childhood activities you might relate to

6. Unexpected vacations?

Image source

If you were not shipped off to your mother's younger sister's house for the holidays, your cousins were brought to yours! I had a mix of both actually, on some occasions, I was taken to my uncles and aunty's house to spend the holiday which is usually at most a month.

Then again you might wake up in the morning and see a strange kid on your bed, then your mom comes in to explain that he/she is your cousin πŸ˜† (happened to me as well). I love those vacations back then because my uncles and aunties always pamper me a lot, I always wish to go back there every holiday.

7. Instant teleportation

Image source

You sleep on the couch in the sitting room, and the next morning you find yourself on your bed and you start wondering what happened, or did you dream that you slept on the couch? I usually drift off to sleep most times when I am waiting for my dad to finish watching the news so I can start watching movies.

I will close my eyes for a few minutes and I will open them again to find myself in my room and it's already morning, I will start grumbling coz I know I have lost another television battle to my dad πŸ˜† I always wondered why they don't just leave us to sleep on the couch till morning, it's not like anything bad is going to happen.


Let's take a look at the pictures!

What better way to remind us of our childhood than using pictures? I found these pictures on nairaland some weeks ago and I said I just have to share them one day with everyone here, I got really nostalgic look at them, so let's roll 😁.

Remember these legends?

Image source

The Nokia 1100 was my mom's first phone and I had lots of memories of playing games like space impact and snake xenzia on it.

How many shapes can you form with this?

Image source

This was our phone back then

Image source

One person stays on one end with a tin can while someone else stays far with the other tin can and we both talk through them πŸ˜†

Our very own music studio

Image source

Just stand in front of a fan and use it as your microphone as you start dropping rap bars

Multicolored pen

Image source

4 in 1 pen (Red, black, blue, and green). The crazy thing about them is that they never last long, after a few weeks it's probably the green one that will still be working fine

The legendary eraser

Image source

Legends said the blue part can erase pen ink, but the unfortunate students that tried it ended up with a torn note πŸ˜†

Kerosene lamps

Image source

They can stay all through the night, I no longer see them these days, everyone had gone electrical.

Netflix and chill? Nah, we had VHS

Image source

We still have one of these in my house and I think it's still working. This was king before CD players took over

Cars? Check βœ…

Image source

I know it's mostly boys that can relate to this one, this was our cars back in the days. I had a big one and a smaller one. The big one is only brought out on special occasions πŸ˜†

Brick game? Why not

Image source

Playstation and Xbox had nothing on these bad boys

Our first mobile phone πŸ˜‚

Image source

Was mine pink? I can't even remember anymore, it's probably black


Wrapping up

Ok, I will be ending it here coz there are lots of pictures and I won't be sharing everything or this article might end up being a 3-hour read πŸ˜† seeing these pictures have triggered lots of memories from my childhood and for a moment, I felt like I was in the past, was it the same experience for you? I hope it is 😊

Special thanks to @Aimure for his sponsorship renewal, I am very grateful for it bro 😁

Thanks for reading πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

I recall the brick game and kerosene lanterns being a lot of fun back then since I used to save any money given to me by my parents and then go out and buy the game after the money is complete for it hahaha, childhood is full of fun no doubt.
