What Do You Miss About Being A Kid?

I was walking my dog through the park last night at about 9.30pm. It was going dark but there were still a load of kids out playing football. How great is that?

They weren't out mugging old ladies, selling themselves to dirty old men or sat at home playing Manic Miner, they were playing good old fashioned football in the fading light.

It warmed the cockles of my heart.

Wasn't it ace being a kid of about 13 or 14. I miss those care free days with no responsibilities or major worries. Playing football or cricket until the sun was long gone, or hide and seek in the woods, or just hanging out with your friends having lots of fun.

I miss those days. Do you miss being a kid, and what do you miss the most?

A wagon wheel and a jam butty for tea while watching the flint stones and top cat and Popeye then going out until dark playing in derelict houses in the Salford slums.

Also naughty stuff with girls in back alley's.

Only you could bring anal sex into an innocent thread like this.

I miss the Lack of responsibility, being able to do what you wanted and when. Having my parents pay for everything, Not having to worry about Mortgages, bills, kids, cars, work etc...

Totally agree - when you're a kid you can't wait to grow up but the truth is they are the best days of your life.

hiding under the covers with my mini-tv watching something i shouldn't.

I miss when birthdays and Christmas days were really exciting and being unable to sleep the day before.

Non uniform or toy days at school we're brilliant.

I miss my mum when she was young.

This hits the spot. Coming home from school knowing your tea would always be on the table. No financial worries whatsoever because Mum and Dad handled the pocket money.

How very dare you!! I have never done that.

My cat mr Jinx

Dorney hill's salford a great place for a kid to play.

I saw my first beaver there when i was 11 or 12

It didn't much look like a beaver as it was young and bald but it was still a wonderous sight for a young kid with a rocket in his pocket.

I hope you didn't get a bad dose of Beaver Fever.

Going swimming in lakes when it was really hot.

Lazy summers and no bills.

Going camping outside with donna" the dirt" and your mates.
