1) being able to act the way you liked without fear of being picked on or judged because of it

2) not having the responsibility (dont get me wrong, i'm not complaining about it [much], but the amount of responsibility put on people my age is ridiculous!)

3) being able to meet somebody for the first time and be best friends with them 5 minutes later, no time wasted

4) not having to worry what your next life move would be

5) the birthday parties (i recently realised how much effort is put into organising a party for people and i really appreciate all the parties i had when i was a child now)

1.) Warm, fresh-picked fruit...like cherries and blueberries...strawberries and blackberries...and plums and apples and pears...all on our property!!!

good thread

when I was 5 i won an art competition (I painted the best fire engine ) and my prize was to meet real life firemen and sit go in the fire engine!
I even got to sit on the firemen's lap as he drove the fire engine through the town!

When we got to the police station I slid down the pole, got to wear huge firemen's uniform, and using the hose, spray it into the air to make rainbows in the sunshine.

That is my favourite memory of being 5.
