What is a random childhood memory that still makes you smile?

Question

I still remember making mud cakes with my cousins. We'd go searching for candles... (sticks) to place on top. Then we'd sing happy birthday 🎂.

First thing that comes to mind was a specific place, it was this large jungle dome full of climbing racks and things to just explore. The place also had a fantastic swimming pool. We'd go every year and its my most relaxed memory.

It in fact left a permanent impact on my subconscious as an adult. You know how you can sometimes have childhood trauma that resurfaces as an adult in nightmares or your daily life? I assume that's like this but in reverse. Whenever I am stressed out and overwork myself I begin dreaming of very similar swimming pools or that I am visiting that place and am staying in the cottage.

My body actively uses the association with that moment where I felt super happy and relaxed for an entire week after to calm itself down when needed.

When I was a youngin, I was tryna fit in with the other kids in my neighborhood riding bikes and all. One day we were doing a loop around the neighborhood & there was a steep hill with a grass bump near the end of it. Everyone was ahead of me & went down just fine.. but I was a big back so I had a lot of mass yk just accumulating speed at higher rates than the other kids. Long story short, ended up flying like 5 feet in the air, hit my nuts on the bike seat, lost control of the damn thing & flew straight into a bush. I brushed it off like it never happend but I was walkin like the penguin for days afterward.

Growing up I'd be send to the countryside for a couple of weeks during the summer.

At one of the places I was in, there was this barn FILLED with boxes and we'd build castles, houses, whole ass sets for various of fantasy play + a little more dangerous activity, right outside there was a LOT of broken cars and shit, which we'd also use as parts for our playing. Part of that was broken glass, where we'd cut ourselves just enough that we'd bleed and colour I'd red making it "blood stones", was a nice collection to all the rocks, shells, crystals and such we gathered.

Well this isn't necessarily a childhood memory because this happening I turned 18 and I was about two months away from graduating high school and on this particular day we were doing senior stuff and we were getting our caps and gowns and everyone was sitting in the auditorium and me and my friends were sitting in seats that weren't too far away from the stage and one of my friends said it would've been funny if they had just thrown ours to us because we weren't to far from the stage and every time I think about that it makes me laugh

I just thought of one.
When I was little, my dad and uncle took me with them on an outing to someplace in the desert.
I picked up a stick, stood on a rock, and started slashing at the bushes around me.

My uncle said "Who are you, Prince Valiant?" And I said "No. I'm Prince Charming." LMAO

They both chuckled. Now I can understand why. But what I had in mind at the time was the scene from the Disney animated film Snow White when Prince Charming was slashing his way through the black brambles with thorns that the witch had conjured.

doing "images" from sand, flowers, whatever we could find, cover them with a broken glass and hide under the sand and then uncover only the part under the glass...

we were spending hours on gathering colorful elements to our "images"

When I was a young girl and whenever it would rain outside, my Mom would make us a nice pan of chocolate fudge - from scratch and make it in the stove.
When the fudge was finally ready my sister and I would argue about who gets to scrape the excess chocolate from the pan Mom made the fudge in, or which one of us got to lick the big spoon she stirred the fudge with.
Mom usually gave the spoon to me and she left a little bit of extra fudge on it.🙂👍🏼

Generally spoken I have no good memories of my father. In the best case he was just absent, which was always the best for my brothers and I. Nevertheless, there is one, and only one amusing memory involving my father that still makes me smile.

When I was a child we lived in Congo, and the only water allowed to be used in the kitchen or for coffee and tea, was boiled in kind of a modern version of a samovar. Mind there was a tab, outside near the entrance, giving water from I don't know where. Of course strictly forbidden to drink that water.

One day still, being really thirsty, I just went over to that tab and drank from it. My father caught me and got terribly angry, but then, seeing the big rain water barrel, he grasped me and threw me into that barrel that was full of lovely cool rain water. Seeing me amused and happily laughing, he for once couldn't keep from smiling... That memory still makes me smile. At least I have one happy memory of that man.

I used to love playing video games with my dad as a kid. It's something I'll always remember about our relationship. It was really one of the few things we shared in common. I was always more like my mom than my dad. My sister was the opposite, as she'd follow my dad around more.
