what are your favorite memories as a little kid?

My favourite memories of childhood... hmmm, thats a tough one. I miss my utter disdain of authority. When I would get in trouble at school, I'd climb a tree until my mother would come and get me down and take me home. When I got in trouble at home (If I couldn't pin the blame on my brother), I would beg for mercy and swear never to do "whatever" again. That and the smells and taste of my mothers baking.

I read (past tense). Everything. Cereal packets, medical journals my mum used to get, the newspaper, books about science (I was - and still am - really into all things scientific & technical), kids books, grown up books, you name it, I read it. I had some interesting nightmares at times! On top of that, I played football (you know, the round ball version we play over this side of the Pond) a lot, ran about lots with the kids from my street. Usual kids stuff. Favourite bit? Phew, tricky. It's all so vague these days... but I guess going camping, climbing, canoeing and stuff with the Scouts would rate up there. That and being part of a family while lots of my friends' were collapsing... hmm, I need a regression session :)

I use to fall down with my hand on my forehead in the middle of a crowded room for attention.
And I used to hide under the circular clothing racks in department stores. My mom would have my name called over the store intercom.
