When growing older, it always seems to be getting harder to recollect personal memories of one’s childhood. The more it makes me happy, when I see something that reminds me strongly of my past. Then, my brain becomes sort of a mindmap, connecting images with each other, recreating things that seemed to be forgotten. And then I just smile in nostalgia. I really had to encourage myself to write these things down because our mind forgets too easily.
So here are 7 things that remind me of my childhood:
1. Daisies: I remember one time, my former best friend from elementary school asked me: “Mimi, have you ever tried daisies?” I looked at her totally disgusted. She told me her parents would always put them into their salad (which was obviously a lie because her parents didn’t know anything about this). But I couldn’t resist, I really had to try it in quite disbelief. And I tell you guys, it was really not bad. Yummy!
2. Hey Arnold: you know this old series, which have been aired on Super RTL? I do. And it was the best series ever. Even today it’s still entertaining. Oh football head…
3. Rainbow Fish: I can’t even remember the plot. But I do well remember the hardcover of the book with those silver fish scales. I loved to touch them.
4. The scrunch of shoes while walking: best sound ever. It reminds me of my father carrying me on his back, while I was falling asleep. It was always so comfortable.
5. Shamrocks: who doesn’t know the legend that if someone finds a four-leaved shamrock will have luck until the end of lifetime? Well, I have never found one. :(
6. Animal scrunchies: This is because my parents always made me two pigtails with those big animal scrunchies with the rolling eyes.. guess I must have looked a little crazy to foreign people.
7.The Smurfs:: Sometimes I still listen to them and dance to their great techno sound through my whole room!

Hahahaha,
deine Kindheitserinnerungen haben meine jetzt auch wieder geweckt!
Und ich erinnere mich auch noch an das Regenbogenfisch!
Früher gab es im Kindergarten ein Buch davon und das Regenbogenfisch sah bei allen Bildern so bunt aus :)) ..und die Serie habe ich mir auch angeguckt, aber kann mich jetzt auch nicht wirklich mehr dran erinnern XD.
Und Hey Arnold – KLASSIKER!
Ich kann mich noch erinnern das dieser Asiate Vietnamese ist hahahahahaha :D
http://www.giselaisback.blogspot.com
Haha, stimmt, das war bei der Folge, wo der Asiate seinen Sohn vermisst, weil das Boatpeople waren. Das war ganz traurig. ;(
Ich habe Biologie als drittes Abifach gewählt,

love this outfits….congrats!!
you look gorgeous :)
I was told about the lick that was supposed to come from a four leef clover. I kept looking until I actually found one. My mother put in between the pages of a book but I don't remember which one. I don't think it made me any more lucky. Books and teddy bears remind me of childhood. I keepp the teddy bears beside my bed because I would love to be young again and seeing them is comforting.
Both you and yur outfit look lovely. I love the fringed scarf and your pretty floral print skirt. Your hair looks lovely too.

LOL, I can totally relate on Hey Arnold! For me? Full House… hey, I wanted an Uncle Jessie so bad. That's just from the top of my head, there's countless things that bring me back to the childhood days, mostly food, but sometimes types of places. What a beautiful feeling it is, no?
And sorry for replying so late, but I absolutely loved your last comment on my blog about terrorism being prevalent everywhere. It's so refreshing to see broad-minded people :)
