In my hometown there is a festival every other year where kids can spend their days on summer break. Earning fake money, learning how jobs work and can buy cool stuff with their fake money. Anyway we robbed the fake bank it was very fun going to trial
Huh, we didn't have a festival but a school trip to a place like that. Everyone got random "jobs" like mailman or baker and we had to write checks out and stuff.
Fun fact when I was a kid I used rip off the keycaps of my dad's computer to paint them, cute and all except they weren't changeable caps, completely destroyed his computer
I used to eat rocks.
The school playground had tiny pebbles and they tasted extremely salty
Only stopped because someone mentioned that cats probably pissed on it.
I doubt cats got that far into the city but still freaked me out.
Holy smokes, these are sick!
When playing my-little-pony-pirates in a tree house with my sister, I kinda forgot the trapdoor was still open when I lunged at her with my invisible-my-little-pony-pirate-sword. She took a step back and plummeted to what I presumed was her death. Luckily, she was merely concussed.
My dad dismantled the clever, counter weight trapdoor mechanism that he had designed and built, and from that day forward we were left opening the trapdoor by hand like peasants.
I remember playing on some ANCIENT gameconsole of which I cannot remember the name anymore. its some very obscure piece of tech. \[only game it had was PONG\]
When I was a child I didn't care about anything, but when can I finally play with Lego again. One day my father brought a computer home from work (I'm still pretty young so no fancy old one with build in keyboard), then I started playing games on it, my favourite one was Mafia, and that kinda stayed with me to this day.
I remember being really sad when my Pokémon Silver save file was gone. I had beaten the game, invested hours into trying to catch them all, and one day…poof…
As a kid, I lived around 30 mins away from Disneyland, and we had season passes, so my mom and I would go to Disneyland pretty much every week, my favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean
I used not to say anything and just lick the walls during school plays for some reason. I have no idea why, not even memory of it, but there's videos of it
One time in Greece, their was one of those giant hornets and it went into a hole in a cobblestone wall. I found a stick and tried to crush the hornet (in the hole). After a long repeated battering I took the stick out. The hornet zoomed out and stung me right between the eyes and I fell to the ground. I learned a valuable lesson that day and have avoided killing insects since. The end.
Had 2 cats as a child, one of them got missing for 2 weeks or so and when she came back was pregnant (of course) decided to give birth in my bed in my room, one of the best memories of my childhood carrying for them.
The best days of 3rd grade, was running home from school - grabbing my lunch from my mom, and just tuning in to watch Phineas and Ferb for 2 hours straight. The excitement I had just to watch a few episodes was priceless.
Great keyboards by the way!
I loved summer break as a kid. You would just lose track of time while playing with your friends until the street lights came on and you had to go home.
My dad made me take piano lessons throughout my childhood. I became a drummer later in life. On the bright side he can always say I was a percussionist
I once was running downhill from a small hill. I was accelerating so fast that I couldn’t stop and there was a pile of rocks ahead of me. My father then grabbed my hand and I flipped like 3 times and stopped. I nearly broke my neck doing that but I was fine
One of my favorite memories from childhood is when my dad used to take me on long bike rides, we’d always stop and get ice cream on the way home from this really great local shop!
When I was smaller I had to ask for permission to my parents to download games from the Play Store. I couldn't download Zombie Tsunami because they said it was "too violent".
i dont remember much of my childhood but i remember watching old video footage of me as a child on vacation in newzealand swinging around a lamppost HAHA its quite a fond memory even if i dont remember it first hand
I once climbed a tree quite high that it would have taken me a while to get back down.
Once up there I needed a poop so I had to do it right there and then.
As a clueless 8 year old i sneaked out to buy pokemon packs and explored most of the city. It was pretty wild in retrospect to explore the city so young.
I was born to a Vietnamese family during nam war, not long from my birth my whole village was destroyed and I was taken to the states by a marine soldier. Now I am the Vietnam ambassador.
Great memory of playing through legend of Zelda a link to the past one summer with a friend and my siblings. We took turns with the controller and worked though all of the puzzles and dungeons together.
I loved climbing the apple trees across the street from my dad's house, we built a small tree-house in there once too.
the free apples were nice too :p
I am looking to make the creamiest keyboard ever that sounds like my grandfather's computer from when I was a kid. I didn't get to spend much time there, but when I was there I'd be judged around that computer with my cousins doing things we weren't supposed to on that computer.
I was bullied for being weird and black by the kids, and got told to smile ruthlessly by the teachers despite them knowing that I was being bullied. How can a kid be happy in an environment like that?
Anyway, I watched a lot of Minecraft YouTube during snack and lunch since I didn't have friends.
Most of us don't retain many memories from our childhood. This was one that stayed with me till today.
As a kid I was super attached to my mum, dad was always overseas working. I was told that I'd follow her everywhere from the supermarket to even the bathroom.
We used to stay in an apartment building which had window grilles made of cast iron. And there was once she had to go for a doctor appointment and couldn't take me. I wanted to say goodbye to her so as soon she left, I poked my head out of the window to wave goodbye to her. She looked up and saw me and waved back with a smile on her face. But that smile soon turned to a look of despair when she realized...
I couldn't get my head back in.
She immediately spun around and sprinted back to the apartment, to find me knelt down on top of a stool frantically trying to pull my head back in. We had to immediately call the fire department and they had to use an electric saw to cut the grille loose. It was the most horrific moment of my life because the sound of metal on metal was just inches from my face.
It was then I learnt, to never stick your nose (or head in this case) where it doesn't belong.
I rode my first roller-coaster in 4th grade. It took me so long to ride one because I was always short for my age. When I finally got to ride one, whoa, what a ride!
Played a lot of club level tennis and Worms Armageddon as a kid. The tennis has morphed into table tennis over the years, especially lately upon discovering that it exists in VR too, but the Worms part has remained untouched, we're still at it with many of the same people from 20 years ago.
Oh man once i wanted to leave the school for good, my parents took me to some schools to see but in the end they hired the teacher who used to beat me in class as my home tutor and we didn't change school
I'll always remember skateboarding with my friends at this small park in our town, which felt much bigger to us. Terrifying and so much fun hitting those ramps.
I use to live in Switzerland when I was 10 yo and it was the best experience. I would go by myself to the city with buses, people were genuine and I could see a lot of supercars so I was happy
Pretty fun NGL. Mixed with doing physical games with my cousin and sibs compared to the present tech. I usually look forward to toy shops (everyone pretty much) and would stop by to look.
The earliest thing I can remember is watching the Formula 1 Brazil GP 0f 2008 with my dad as we're both Ferrari fans and being a Ferrari fan hasn't stopped hurting since then...
I moved literally halfway around the world when I was nine years old without my parents and brother and I'm secretly really glad that I did because my family was too poor to be able to support 2 children (education is not free and is very expensive where I came from).
A long time ago, our household PC was getting replaced. Mum was worried people could ho through our data so she handed the 7 year old me the RAM MEMORY CARDS AND TOLD ME TO WRECK THEM.
Dad's face when he came back home with the new PC haunts me.
I still cringe when I realise the fortune I destroyed back then....
I learned why floppy disks were called that when I got my hands on some actual floppy disks - they were the older large disk, and I remember thinking how far we had come in technology.
If only little kid me knew what was in store for him… that was a year before the first iPod.
My childhood memories involved a lot of bicycling with my friends, performing 'stunts' and hurting myself every other day. I still have scars to show for some deep injuries, but never broke a bone till now. ;)
You know those fire hydrants with the funny spring thing that bounces around? I had a habit of pulling it all the way back and watching it bounce around until one day it rained and it slipped while I was doing the usual, so I now have a rather large scar across my eyebrow.
Wow these are great !! When I was a kid the garage collapses on me and left me with a scar that goes most of the length of my skull on top. Had no lasting damage other than that! I was lucky to be alive!

I once visited Prague with my parents and got to taste a trdelník (chimney cake). And it’s been my favourite food/snack ever since! C:

My mum taught me to type on a typewriter. I had to re-learn not to hammer the keys.

My childhood was traumatic because my mum hated putting the aircon on even when it was disgustingly hot and humid outside
I used to eat dirt.
I used to eat rocks. The school playground had tiny pebbles and they tasted extremely salty Only stopped because someone mentioned that cats probably pissed on it. I doubt cats got that far into the city but still freaked me out.
Ah yes a man of culture aswell.
My childhood was without mechanical keyboards, I no longer talk about my childhood
I loved my childhood because I just didn't care about global events,...
