Childhood memories? I remember, I remember the house where I was born?

The little window where the woordlice crawled in off the Virginia creeper.

Childhood memories? I remember, I remember the house where I was born?
I remember best the woods on the farm where I grew up, full of amazing and wonderful plants, animals, and flowers, and a stream where I played on its mossy banks for hours every day that I could escape the house.



I remember my upstairs bedroom, waking up in the morning and being able to see my breath, and the window seat where I spent many an hour reading. Once in the heat of summer I was reading Little House in the Big Woods and got so caught up in it that when I looked out, I was surprised to see that it wasn't winter! The attic door that was in the corner of my room: I was an imaginative child and I was SURE that there were things in there in the night. (I read a lot of Kafka and other scary stories).

I remember the haying in the summer, almost drowning in the ditch in the winter when it was iced over and I went skating on it--and the ice was not thick enough in one spot.



The big kitchen wood range, bringing in wood in the winter, doing laundry with a wringer washer, and the outhouse--esp in the winter, and once in the summer when I got stung by a bumble bee in there (on the hand) and never wanted to go in there again (but of course I had to).



Lots of memories. But the house where I was born--my family moved from there when I was 3 months old, I never even knew where it was. In Lansing, Mi somewhere.
Reply:I remember before my sister was born, Mum going for blood tests, "swimming" in a sheep trough on hot summers' days - the sheep standing waiting for a drink. I remember my father coming home from work and trying to make me eat spinach. I remember having long conversations with the operator on the telephone and telling him or her about my little sister growing inside Mum, about my doll called difficult darling because it would not eat porrige oats - funny, I hate phones now!



I remember our neighbours child, a few months younger than me standing outside our bathroom window calling for me to come out to play. I remember my sister being born and wondering why nobody came to put me on the potty. Eventually I did it myself and got a smacked bottom for the liberty!



I remember bad things too, which I am not prepared to talk about.



All this 44 years ago and since!

Reply:Not where I was born, but the house my dad built and that we moved into by the time I was one. I remember still being in the crib in the upstairs bedroom. I remember the empty lots across the street before other homes were built and how we played there. I remember the sewing machine in the corner of the dining room and watching my mother sew curtains and mend our clothes. I remember winters with our wet boots, mittens and snowsuits drying on the radiators, and pulling bottles of frozen milk out of the milk box! I remember my mother's iris's on the side of the house and how proud she was of them. And the coins that my father put in the concrete porch, and how the boy next door pried them out. And our stone driveway, and how my friend's little brother would pick one up, bring it to the door...and ask my mother if she wanted to buy a pretty rock, which she always would!



I remember, I remember.
Reply:I remember once when my mom forgot to set the clock and I was late for school. The policeman wasn't at the highway nor were any of the kids. And I was too scared to go across by myself so my grandma called the man at the gas station to help me get across. I don't know why she just didn't go and help me, it was only half a block.

The country highway had no traffic I could see in any direction, but I was scared anyway to go across by myself. I was 6.

Reply:My sister and I were born in the doctor's house which was also his office. I have the business card from that time. I seem to remember reading a poem with similar lines like 'that little house of mine'. I have a book of American verse and one of English verse and cannot remember the poet.

(I am sure the doctor's house is gone. Too many years have passed for it to be standing.)

Reply:I remember a mother running into the school yard screaming the "King is dead"(King George VI) and we all got sent home.

Muffin the Mule, I had a string puppet of it.

|I remember putting my pillow on the window sill to watch the thunder and lightening, feeling warm and snug, then waking up in the morning with a wet head and pillow because the windows leaked.

The tippler toilet at the bottom of the yard and the tin bath hung on a nail in the yard.

Harsh but happy times.
Reply:sorry can't remember where!
Reply:I remember a time when I was two and was cutting teeth, my mum gave me peas and I choked and ran to the verander to spit them out. I remember coughing and being scared.



I also remember being in a pram and lookign up at the jacaranda trees which were always so full of purple blossoms. Whenever I see Jacarandas I feel so happy like I did all those times in the pram.

Reply:My nan had a house which had a lovely little round window in the hall. My aunt Clara always used camp coffee. Aunt Doris had 2 lovely friendly labrador dogs. Aunt Nell was the rich aunt, with a big house in the country. She had a budda in the hall, and a lovely lamp. We used to go to take turns going round to all the aunties, one day a week. And i've just remembered nan's little pinny. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood, what a wonderful time it was!! All the best!
Reply:I don't remember the house where I was born because my parents moved when I was 9 months old to the house that I call my home. I lived there for 20 yrs till I got married and I sure remember it well. I remember every creak of the steps going up to the bedrms,I remember how the sun streamed into our windows infusing light and color.funny about childhood homes, I've now been in this home for 40 yrs and altho I love it, my childhood home is still the one I miss.About every 6 months or so when we take a ride to see friends in my old city,we go by my old house to see what changes have been made.

Reply:I remember Julian Cartwright asking me to sniff the end of his pencil, I still hate him for that!
Reply:I remember as well. It was a very old fashioned house with no electricity upstairs, no bath and an outside toilet. Not such happy days.
Reply:I too do but so what..all do for that matter so what's new in this..and why r u telling me this unless u r going to ask me to accompany to the place where u were born.. surely, u asked ur g/f first and she excused herself.. so u r trying to find scapegoat who 'd bear with u and listen to ur boring childhood stories which r no different then mine..since u r going to ask me, it 'd be rude on my part to refuse u.. so we strike a deal... u pay me first to accompany u and i pay u later to accompany me to my birth place.
