If Only I Could Bring Them Back

Childhood days are ones filled with so many memories that can not be trade for anything. They lasts forever in ones head either it's good and the opposite.

The joy of being able to freely play around when you are been permitted by your parents or even when they are out and not around to seal you in the room like the fishes in a Titus sandine. That's the most free moment I love to have cos those are the times I know that even if my playing ends up in crying when I get hurt, I don't get beaten by mum for hurting myself (only God knows why those mothers do like that, lol. You would even be happy that the beating is forgotten when she's treating you first, only to get beaten after you're treated).

The numerous games we would always do keeps flashing back now and all it does to me is bring some beautiful smile to my face. From playing under the rain with pants alone, to drawing a 12 square box on the floor, either it's on sand or a cemented floor known as Suwe, skipping rope game, monini monini modeji modeji game (has to do with legs counting), ten-ten game, daddy mummy and children play, (the sweetest ones are when our parents are not home and we can get their food stuffs to cook food for our family play, lol.

One of the games I would love to bring back is the tinko tinko tinkololo tinko game, lol. My God lol
It's not like this game is kind of more special than the rest but the fact that you're doing multiple things together at the same time and also involves IQ makes it interesting to me.

In this game, you're making use of your two palms with another competitor and these palms are to be swinging in and out, up and down, tapping or clapping and all that. It requires reasoning and strength at the same time because you just not mistake a next step for another and the more the number increases, the more the pace at which the palm swings. So brain and strength must be intact to do this game cos you wouldn't wanna lose out.

As a child, I wasn't really a fan of junks and I could only relate with a few candy sweets so I don't really have any snacks coming to my head right now.

My childhood was full of fun and one of the best moment I missed was staying awake almost through the night because I was looking at my hanged ready-made bob gown that I was to wear to our school end of the year/term party the next morning, lol.

I'll be dropping my 🖊️ here on the Scifi Multiverse Prompt

Thanks for reading through 🤗
