Jason and I, many moons ago, how cute!!! |
My funniest childhood memory is of the evening we spent at my aunts farm, there was a sand road that ran along the one side of the property, the farm workers walked this road to go home. We would lay a rubber snake in the grass across the road, it was tied to a piece of clear gut, we would hide on top of the roof of the house, and when people came walking past we would gently tug the gut and the snake would come slithering out of the grass. The people that were walking would get such a fright and run away screaming, it was so funny! We got up to so much mischief on that farm, broken bones, skinless knees and bloody noses, farm life at it's best I guess!! Another favourite is the day Jason told my mom his friend Zebo was going to live with us, and so "Zebo", his imaginary friend lived with us for a few months, until he got "hit by a car" according to Jason. Zebo had his own place and plate at the dinner table, his own spot on the couch and he also had to get clothes etc...
My fondest childhood memory is a recurring one...every evening when it was bedtime, my dad would carry me to bed, I would either sit on his shoulders and yell "Duck duck!!" as we went through the doorways (he is really tall), or I would sit on his foot while he walked to the room. He would then tuck me into bed and sing our good-night song. I am sure this is where my love for peanut butter originated.
It goes like this (No laughing allowed!!):
"Peanut sitting on the railway line,
his heart was all a flutter.
The railway train came down the line,
Choo choo, peanut butter!"
Then I would laugh and often he would have to sing the song again, before I went to sleep.
I will definitely be singing this bedtime song to our children one day!
What's your favourite childhood memory??
Wow that first story is funny but a bit unfortunate for your brother! And that song/ lullaby is so cute! That's such a lovely thing to remember :)

ReplyDeleteIt was awesome, we also used to leave it in a suitcase in the middle of the road, but someone (my cousin) had to hide in the grass and that didn't go well for her, LOL
DeleteAwww I love all of those! Growing up in the country really is the best thing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorrie, I loved the farm life, we spent tons of holidays there just riding horses and playing in the farm lands among the crops, it was awesome!
DeleteYouch! We had an electric fence for the dog growing up and I touched it a few times on accident. You never forget that feeling!
