When Apples and Blackberries Were Just Fruits...

This is my little sister when she was about 2 and a half years old :) 

I don't think I'm old enough to remember before Mac because apparently that came around when my father was a young child. But i do remember when my biggest worry was what colour crayon i was going to use to colour the hair of the princess in my colouring book, when my biggest worry is whether i will be home in time to watch my favourite cartoon program. Even the thought of being rich because you had 50p in your little purse (that you probably got from a party bag). I think we will all miss those times. But do you remember when you were that age and you wanted to be all grown up so you could go to bed later? or so you could spend more time with your friends from school without the constant protection of your parents? Now that I'm old enough to do all these things i miss my childhood. A Lot.I kind of regret not making the most of the freedom i had. When it was 'OK' to look a mess in public. When it was 'cute' to have crumbs all over your face. On the other hand when i talk to people older than me they tell me to make the most of the time i have now. And looking back I've decided to act upon that advice because i may not realise this now but in the future i'm certain i will miss this part of my childhood as much as i miss those early years of my life. Saying what they usually do is 'with age comes responsibility.'
