5 things you loved as a 5 year old

Pretty self-explanitory, really. Just any 5 things you loved when you were 5 (or little in general, if you can't remember that far back ).

1 - Dogger. My favourite book about a boy who loses his toy dog.
2 - Red. Great colour, red.
3 - Glasses. I used to sit in front of the telly with glasses-frames on, pretending I needed them. Now I do.
4 - Ham sandwiches/Jam sandwiches. Not at the same time, I hasten to add.
5 - Homework. I used to get my mum and dad to set me homework. I was a very peculiar child

Your go!

1. going to my grandmother's garden to collect cherries
2. eating sweetener (don't ask!!)
3. winding up my sister
4. the guy I was engaged with in kindergarten
5. anything to do with fluffy birds and penguins (some things never change!!)

i was never five. i came into existance as a 90 year old and have been getting younger ever since.

1. Eating Sand (i used to think it was sherbert )

2. Talking a goobledegook... i used to just say random made-up words a lot.

3. Playing Cowboys and Indians with my sister. Although i was always the indian and she tyed me up to the washing line and used to run off and leave me (i am the younger sister )

4. Copying my sister... she learnt the recorder, i wanted to learn it etc..

5. Swimming, and the water in general. Used to always nag my mother to get out the paddling pool even in winter.

Hope you know that all the other things that you loved when you were five will feel excluded from your list. Possibly they will be offended, too!

1. My grandpa, Bub!
2. My dog Mike.
3. The feeling that summer went on for years.
4. The bedtime stories about Otters.
5. Thinking it was normal to play with Elven Folke!

1. Smash, Offspring album (yes, i liked offspring when i was 5 )
2. the big water slidey sheet thing my best mate always had in his garden whatever the weather
3. pizza
4. toy suction-cup dart gun type thing
5. a big hand that fit over yours that was really a hidden water gun

i seem to be one of the ikkle one's on HoP, but still, it's still a great album

my elven people still live behind the sofa...

1. Playing on my jungle gym style swingset and in my Mr.Turtle pool w/ slide on a hot summer day.

2. Digging snow tunnels with my friends in the drifted snow around our swimming pool.

3. Roasting hot dogs and marshmallows in our fire place after riding on the snowmobile with my dad.

4. Walking my dog with my Grandpa, especially when he wore his bright blue socks that made me giggle when they poked out from under his dark trousers when he took a step.

5. My sisters. They were 15 and 17 at the time and I thought they were the coolest people ever.

One thing I didn't like but is funny in retrospect, sliding down those metal slides in shorts or a bathing suit after they sat all day in the sun! Talk about toasty buns! lol Never stopped me from doing it though! lol



Can we do age 8 next? I have great memories from that too!

Fantabulous thread idea mr. N A G

-wrestling with my girnormous golden retriever, his name was molson (molson the golden... my dad named him after the beer)

1. Lego - cooooool

5. The sheer innocence of my behaviour - believing in Father Christmas, that summer would last forever, that toy cars were real, that the world is a sunny place, that life was good.
Innocence is greatly underrated.

4. playing with the hose out the back in summer
