As a kid, without any electronic devices, or much TV to watch, we were creative in how we spent our time. In our neighbourhood, I was the oldest of a group of kids so I was kind of a leader. Everything around had the potential to be used by us,

Over the years, we learn many new things and discard things that are no longer useful to us, like the names of all the kids in our kindergarten class, or the name of the neighbours’ dog. However, sometimes, some of those useless details stick for many many years.

When I was a kid (several years ago), we didn’t need electronic devices or expensive gadgets to keep us entertained: we had friends and just a few basic things, yet we could play for hours. One of those simple toys was a rubber ball.

When I was a kid, it was before color television was common in most households. So we had a black and white TV. However, my grandma had a color TV from as long as I remember (like early 60’s), so when something special was to be on TV, like Santa

As you followed these stories, i learned how to swim pretty early. I was not afraid of the water, or the deep end. However, i was stubborn, and one day, i “decided” that i didn’t now how to swim!

When I was young, I was not a very sick child in general. My brother was just as healthy as I was too. However, there comes a time when something a bit out of the ordinary happens. Nothing traumatic or major, but different.

When I was 10, we moved from our 2-bedroom apartment to a 3-bedroom apartment because then, our family had 2 kids. My brother is 8 years younger than me, so for the first year or so, he slept either in my parents’ bedroom, or for a time, in my room.

When I was younger, my grandparents owned a cottage out of town. We would go there often in the summer, spending weekends and sometimes weeks. Then, my uncle took the cottage over.
