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) 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)

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.

I love this thread it sends such memories rushing through the mind
1. My stuffed panda, which I still have and sleep with to this day!
2. Milo Sandwiches
3. Living near the bush and being able to go exploring it
4. My mind, I used to have the most active imagination, always making up stories in my head and acting them out (usually while exploring said bush above!)
5. Reading, could read from a young age and loved curling up with new books and letting my mind slip into the world which the book was talking about. (actually I still do that!)
