I had a dream last night in which a family with young children were in the grocery store and each was allowed to buy a package of toilet paper. They hugged their cuddly treasures, and laughed and ran to the checkout counter.
Will this be a treasured childhood memory some day? According to a survey, these are the top 10 most common first childhood memories:
Trip to the dentist
Birthday party
Vacation
First day of school
Trip to the doctor
Being outside
An accident or injury
A tooth falling out
We can get the happiest memories from The Express - the beach accounts for almost 3/4 of happy memories. Here are some more:
Family holidays
Hide and seek
Collecting shells on the beach
Hop scotch
Sports days
Watching children's TV
Fish and chips
Pic n mix sweets
Playground games
Pencil cases
Climbing trees
Egg and spoon race
Collecting toys/ cards/ collectibles etc.
Ice creams from the ice cream van
Playing outside until it was dark
Given these times, we might return to some of these activities and still enjoy ourselves. We'll have to figure out some of the activities with social distancing.
