What Do You Miss Most About Your Childhood

Playing for hours on end with Lego.

I'm pretty sure just earlier today I said "If I won the lottery, I'd probably spend the whole thing on lego"

The Lego US headquarters is about 5 miles from where I live, and my father-in-law just celebrated 30 years there late last year.   Like a kid in a candy store...

(There's a LEGO store where employees get discounts, but there is also a "special" room where only employees can go to get special stuff; sort of like the "as-is" room at IKEA).

Well that's just stupid.






I'd limit myself to spending 50% on Lego, and the rest for computer parts and hookers.

Pretty sure I wouldn't need hookers once the ladies saw my Lego collection.

[BlobVanDam]

Ah yes, true dat.

Or maybe you could combine the 2 activities.

You mean like build a Lego sex doll? 2 steps ahead of you.





You know the feeling when you step on a Lego brick? Now imagine it with your junk.

Hookers would be the only way for you to get sex if women saw your Lego collection.

^^^ You mean there AREN'T girls out there that would drool over my 1,254 piece, 1/64th scale Millennium Falcon, with action figures? 

Screw 'em then.  Maybe I'll meet someone nice at the Rush Convention I'm going to in June.

It only takes one, and she'll be the keeper.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Looking at the listings on eBay for the Lego Taj Mahal, I almost wish I hadn't opened it.

Good luck with that. I always go to prog shows to meet women.

I miss all of the days playing baseball in the streets

[KevShmev]

I miss all of the days playing baseball in the streets

This is a simple, yet great answer.

As kids, we were always playing street hockey, wiffle ball, soccer or tackle the man with the football (a classic!). 

Street hockey was often a contest to see how many times we had to move the nets out of the street for a car.

[black_biff_stadler]

Oh man, I forgot how serene and awesome football on a bitterly cold, grey, dreary winter day was. I LOVE greyish winter days.

That's all my youth was about...baseball.  I read every book I could get my hands on, knew every last statistic and record, and loved watching every game.

I never played hockey. It was either baseball (or some form of it) or football.

Tell me more about Merkle's boner, Papa John.

Baserunning mistake going back to the early 20th century.

I'm a bit jealous though. Usually you ask about my boner.

[KevShmev]

So many forms of baseball - wiffle ball, stick ball, or just good old baseball.  And I was a big baseball card collector in my youth.  In fact, I recently dug up by many baseball cards I still had saved and gave them to my 11-year old nephew, who loves baseball.  He was thrilled.

One time we got a bread stick with the end shaped like a boner but it didn't come from Papa John's.

I was a huge collector also. I have tens of thousands of cards just lying around.

Well I hope it didn't come from Mama John.

I for one loved Kotow's original reply. It cracked me up.

I suppose I miss the lack of responsibility, but with that came a lack of freedom. We tend to romanticize childhood, but it also sucks in its own ways. People are telling you what to do all the time, you are basically stuck in the same place 24-7, you have no money for beer and gourmet cheese, and you worry about stupid shit that doesn't matter at all.

I do miss having summers off and spending all day at the library. Yeahhh.

[SeventhDegree]

Spending about two weeks every Summer at my Grandparents house in the country with two cousins of mine.  The Grandparents would let us do stuff (within reason, of course) that our parents would never let us do in a thousand years.  We'd be there over 4th of July and my Grandfather would get tons of fireworks and he let the three of us shoot them off on the 4th.  That was a blast (no pun intended).

Also, Christmas at my Grandparents when I was a kid was a magical time.  Since I'm now grown up and my Grandparents are dead, Christmas sucks.  It's not what it was.

[ReaperKK]

Summer time coming around and spending everyday with my little brother and best friend. Come home and putting on the bathing suit and spending the day outside.
