best/warmest memories from childhood

'Tis time for nostalgia.

What memories from childhood (up to early teen) do your cherish the most? Which sounds and smells bring out these memories?

For me, I remember going to shuka (outdoor bazzar) with my mom as we bought produce for the week. All the delicious sounds of food, the hustle and bustle of people, while I would work on the huge sunflower my mom would buy me every now and then. That was fun.

Another great part of my childhood was being with my pals from my yard. I'd do my homework and leave home for the rest of the day (minus diner time). We'd play hide and seek till 12am (my mom was lax on my sleep). Almost every week we'd venture to steal fruits from some folks' orchards and would have to run like hell from the owner who would chase us. This was before the age of video games. I spent half of my childhood in the street with friends, getting into games, fights, and other general troubles. Life can never again be as joyous as it was then.

Anyone remember vartavar?

Go ahead, post a fun story or a happening from your childhood that brings a smile to your face when you remember it.

Ahh, the magic of ordinary days in the good ol' Armenian SSR. The Americans then introduced you to video games and corrupted you. Red Brigade will fix this.

Childhood was the best, plain and simple. I remember when we would go to my grandma's house there was a kid named Sevag. Me, my brother, and this kid would go on top of those garages they used to have, they were metal garagas. And we would jump from garage to garage. They had unequal spaces separated from each other so it was always a challenge to jump the ones with more space. Ahh those were the days. I'll post more later.

This was my favorite childhood television show. At school anyone who said they didn't like it was caught lying. I have a collection of the first few seasons on VHS; you know, the ones with Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd as the villains. After that everything got fcuked up.


It's Alpha!


Zordon was pretty cool too.

Ha, that's nothing. Our favorite was making a fire, throwing some potatoes we'd scavenge from our parents right into the fire, sit around it, discussing if Bruce Lee really was the greatest and also how we would kick Turks' asses. Then we'd peal the potatoes and eat them with salt. One time, one of our friends shot a small bird with a "ragatka" (those thingies with a rubber band) and we freaking plucked the bird and put it into the fire lol. The damn thing looked like a chicken.

One of my best memories from childhood was when every friday at school we were playing football.I was elected as the captain of our team.

Plus our cheerleaders were encouraging us throughout the game.

Yeah my dad tells me they used to shoot and cook and the birds when they were little. I remember him saying it with a grin on his face, and my mom was pretty repulsed.

I always tried to shoot some myself and never hit one.

Me and my brother making bow and arrows with tree twigs, rubber bands and a knife to cut a point in our "arrows" and going to find grouse, a bird, and try to hunt them with our arrows. My family bike rides. When I could ride my bike without training wheels for the first time, the smell of my mothers hand lotion, when I smell it today or someone else who wears it, it reminds me of her when I was a child.

Going to swim in the ocean and me and my siblings dressing each other up in seaweed as kings and queens of the ocean. Going to take a bath in a river near my home at night, I remember the cricket music.

Watching saturday afternoon from Disney. The first time I watched Aladdin movie, and watching my mother cooking us breakfast every morning before going to school.

Me and my siblings stomping on smoke mushrooms (mushrooms when you jump on them they poof out a substance that looked like smoke.) Our family christmas tradition that we have been doing every year since I can remember: listening to a record on one of those old record players of the story of the birth of Christ.
