Today is International Children's Day... do you feel you kept your inner child somewhere inside you? What's your favourite childhood memory?
I love being silly with my children, making faces, breaking into song or dance together..so yes when they call me crazy, they know it's a compliment and we all laugh 
As for childhood memory .. playing in nearby forrest and park and naming things like Anne of Green Gables did.. or licking spoons after my Grandmas baking efforts. |

My inner child is very much present - I'm forever being silly and giggling, and I still have a very childlike curiosity (I have to know how things work and I'm always asking questions).
As for memories, there are far too many to choose just one...but licking the cake mix from the spoon was always fun  |

I read this and just remembered having a bath in the kitchen sink! 
(Pretend I then went on to say some dickhead thing like "Wait that was last Thursday" or something, but I actually did remember that)  |

Definitely have kept my childish side. Been running round the house wrestling the boys this afternoon (I now hurt a lot). And if I'm with my sister it's like we're teenagers again taking the piss out of each other.
One of my favourite memories is playing in hay field forts with my sister. Thought they were cool, been told as an adult it was a mini prison lol |

Oh asking 100s of question is definitely child like characteristic but when we stop asking them.. we stop learning.. so it's a great thing. |

Hay field forts.. that's amazing! I remember climbing the structures my uncles would make of the wheat leftovers..straw? (English words for this are not known to me).. they were all in cubes stuck up together.. felt like I was on top of the world. |

Ah it's alright. I have that side too. And maybe that child still needs comforting.. x |

I have a picture of me and my father and I'm probably about 4 and I'm carrying a basket of mushrooms we'd picked. I remember then eating fried mushrooms with bread and butter for lunch |
