    What a wonderful week I have had spending time with visiting family. Including my munchkin, we had kids from 8 to 23. Which put me in the right frame of mind for our Friday Frivolity Host theme: Childhood. And it made me quite nostalgic for my own childhood. So, without further ado, here are some things I miss about childhood.

    Things I miss about childhood - naps, pillow forts, hot lava, scented markers and more. nostalgia. childhood memories.

    Oh please! send me to my room to be alone and think too!

    If I have to explain, then I'm sorry you never got to play this.

    If cushions weren't used as islands in the lava to reach the bathroom or kitchen - then they were used for forts.

    This is why teachers are begging for glue by winter break.

     
    If I close my eyes I can smell them now. Mmmmmm! (the picture is an affiliate link to buy them and relive the memories yourself)

    The Laff A Lympics and and the eerily similar prime-time non-animated "Battle of the Network Stars" (google it kiddos). Yup, some high quality thought provoking entertainment there. Full episodes are available on Amazon video.

    Well not since I had J. I never figured out Kegels so... uh, well, never mind...

    This was actually well after my childhood, but I had to throw it in here considering the Pokemon Go craze.

    True story: I instituted rho-sham-bo rules on the playground when I was teaching. No complaining about whose turn it was, whether it hit you, if it was on the line. Play Rock-Paper-Scissors, winner gets to decide then get back to playing. The parents and other teachers said kids were settling their own petty arguments this way in class and at home. #teacherwin

    Who's with me?!!!!

        I am assuming every American kid has played the lava game. I taught my kids and his friends and they LOVED it. Their parents, not so much...

      I can't believe you can buy those markers again! I had forgotten all about them, but one look and I can already smell them. Not that I was sniffing markers as a child.........
