Back to Childhood Fantasy

Hello people. How are you? I hope all are well and living your life peacefully. I'm having some back pain issues due to some extra works. But I will be fine. Well, yesterday I was reading your articles, enjoying them & replying in the comment box. All those contents were awesome. But I must say, one story from @Ling01 named ❝ Old Beliefs: Another part of our Childhood ❞ grabbed my attention. This was all about our childhood beliefs. We were so innocent and fool at the same time. But trust me, we all enjoy and smile where remembering them. Right dear?
We are now grown up. We are dealing with fast changing world. New problems, new solutions, new technologies and new innovations. Life is travelling to one era to another era with a span of few months. New generation kids are fast learner. They understand technology more than us. Nothing shame in it. You could learn from them. But here is a mass point. Are they enjoying their childhood as we did in our days? Put your hands on your heart and answer. Well, they are not and we can not blame them. We had vast timing for our childhood but they have less. School, new books, new environment, new foods, new medicines, they are bound with this all. Whom to blame? I hope they could have the same fun as we did in our childhood. Remember those days guys? Let's have a glimpse of it.
Bed Time Stories
See? I start with sleepy things. Can't get over from sleep. Ok. Where was I? Oh, with story time. Well, our grandmother and grandfather told us stories. Not from the books. But they told us such stories which they heard from their grandparents! Isn't that cool? Generation to generation. What are those stories all about? Demon, angel, monster, king, queen, prince, princess, witch, dwarf and what not? Still I remember those stories.
No Sleep At Noon
It was the great law made by the younger ones which was abided by them only. How many times we just got beaten for that? Remember? If you ask me, I will say 'countless'. We preferred to do all important works (in our view) at noon as we refused to sleep at that time. Walking here and there, gossiping under trees, throwing stones at people’s yard were some of those important works.
Marriage of Dolls
Well, it was a girl thing. But we also took part in it. Girls really loved playing with their dolls. They even sewed new dress for them. Two different doll would get married and others were invited in it. Trust me, it was so trendy then. Even if you remember those days now, you will be seeing laugh riots. What were not present at that wedding? Ask me just. New dress for male & female dolls, fake foods including meat, fish, vegetables and rice which were imagined with some special leaves and unknown flowers. Even some of us decorated that place with papers! Fake guests were us. The best part is coming dear. We even cried when we bade goodbye to the newly wed couple. I got many people here. You people are laughing now? Yes, we all had that day.
Neighbourhood Picnic
Ohhh dear! I miss this so much now. Local picnic was a treat to have. We arranged a particular spot to arrange a picnic. We cooked food and invite the elders. Rules were simple. As we were mere child, we had no money. So we arranged everything from our houses. Some brought rice, some brought eggs, some managed utensils. We dug a hole and made a fireplace of our own. Then we cooked food. Elders also enjoyed it because they had that fun in their childhood. They only helped us by giving suggestions while we cooked. At the end, we all sat together and had that food. Sometimes it didn’t taste well but trust me no one felt sorry for that.
Oh dear, I could possibly write more about beautiful childhood. Those beautiful days are past now. I don't know how much the new generation is enjoying their childhood but they do deserve that.
