Do you ever sit back and think about how easy it was to be a child, the days when your biggest worry was that you\u2019d have to be home by a certain time or you\u2019d get grounded. Don\u2019t you wish you could be grounded now? The idea of being told to sit alone in your room and not interact with anybody doesn\u2019t sound like punishment anymore, in fact, it sounds like complete bliss. Sometimes as an adult all\u2019s you want after a long week is to hide away and binge on a Netflix series. As a child you have so much fun, doing the simplest of things. There are lots of things from my childhood that I miss. Here are 10 things you\u2019ve probably forgotten about.<\/p>\n
Everybody loved the tooth fairy as a child. If you spotted a loose tooth you\u2019d wobble it about until it fell out. Imagine doing this now, I don\u2019t know about you but I\u2019d be mortified to lose a tooth as an adult. We were in it for the money, because everybody knew if you put the tooth under your pillow the fairy would come and collect it and leave behind the cash. If this still happened as an adult maybe I\u2019d be more inclined to pull my teeth out. Did you ever try the door and string trick? You\u2019d wrap the string around you tooth and connect it to the door then slam it shut, how insane? Would you do that now? To be honest, I\u2019d probably consider it for a large amount of cash. The struggles of being an adult!<\/p>\n
Pogs were a massive craze in the 1990\u2019s. A tiny disc that you\u2019d spin, oh wow! We were so easily amused. They caused so much uproar and we took the game so seriously. \u201cI\u2019ll swap you to normal ones for a shiny.\u201d<\/p>\n
During primary school there was always a fake wedding. You\u2019d act it out like an actual ceremony. If your crush gave you one of those coloured jellies to wear on your finger you were in luck.<\/p>\n
This game was so entertaining and it was no expense for our parents. You don\u2019t see many kids playing Kirkby nowadays, come to think of it it\u2019s probably dangerous. Standing at the edge of a road and throwing a football around whilst cars are passing, not the best idea, but it was fun!<\/p>\n
A packet of coloured chalks and a stone you\u2019d found in your nans back garden and you were good to go. This is something you don\u2019t really see anymore. Today\u2019s generation are playing with Lego that costs \u00a380 a box, bring back the old school games!<\/p>\n
You had a phase were you\u2019d spend hours on end glued to a computer screen. You\u2019d be so addicted that your parents would shout you for tea and you wouldn\u2019t want to leave your bedroom. Super Mario and Donkey Kong were the best.<\/p>\n
Imagine having a tea party with teddy bears or dolls as an adult. You would definitely be judged as being some kind of psychopath. As kid\u2019s wed sit for hours pretending to pour tea into empty plastic cups and acting out a two way conversation, weird.<\/p>\n
You will forever loathe the time when you were invited to friend\u2019s birthday parties. Adult birthday parties just aren\u2019t the same. Take us back to bouncy castles and party bags.<\/p>\n
We all done this, you\u2019d grab a pillow and use it as a sledge to slide down the stairs. You probably injured yourself on more than one occasion. The only time I slide downstairs as an adult is after one too many drinks.<\/p>\n
Every kid one of these as some stage in their childhood. It was your best friend\/baby. You\u2019d take it everywhere with you, make sure to feed and give it attention. It was basically childhood training on how to have a girlfriend. My Cyber-pet died after one week. R.I.P Timmy.<\/p>\n
