When I Was a Kid…

Posted at 9:07 pm under Family & Parenting, Self Reflection

When I was a kid...

When I was a kid I would…

  • ~ Line up my dolls and play Teacher
  • ~ Tell on my older sisters incessantly (I think at some point my mom stopped listening – it was easier not to know :~)
  • ~ Get up early before school and workout
  • ~ Try to make things better between my sisters and mom
  • ~ Save my candy so that I could eat it when my sisters didn’t have any
  • ~ Talk to my imaginary puppy
  • ~ Do homework even when I didn’t have any
  • ~ Try as hard as I could not to wake up my mom no matter how afraid I was
  • ~ Clean voluntarily – especially to make my sister look bad
  • ~ Read
  • ~ Write – and sometimes it was just to admire my penmanship
  • ~ Fall asleep within seconds of sitting down in front of the tellie
  • ~ Trash my veggies (sshhh…please don’t tell on me!)
  • ~ Make my Barbies do it

What would you do once you were a kid?

  • Oh Larissa, this is why I love you so! Thank you so much for sharing. It's really cool to learn more about you.

    Hi Kandice ~ you were one creative kid! Do you still have any of your short stories? I'd love to read them.

    Hugs to you both ~

  • *Spied on my brothers, so I could get them into trouble
    *Played outside all day, unlike my kids
    *Read books
    *Wrote short stories
    *Cook meals before anyone woke up, eat them, clean up and eat again when my mom got up
    *Play in the rain
    *Pretend the dog could talk
    This has brought back so many memories, thanks!

    Oh my! I also used to save all my candy until my sister had none and then eat it slowly. She still is bothered by this today, she doesn't understand how I could go w/o eating it!! :)

    *I also used to read alot.
    *I used to jump into and out of bed to prevent any monster from grabbing my ankle.
    *I used to climb to the top shelf of my closet into my self-made fort and play for hours.
    *I used to pronounce english words with a spanish accent like "knife-ah" after we got back from visiting spanish family
    *I loved to bake cakes with my own invented recipies (I don't think any where edible)!
    *I loved to run outside in shorts and barefeet to see how long I could withstand the snow and blistering cold before running indoors.

    Fun topic...I could go on and on. :)
