Childhood Checklist… Favorites?
Okay, I know I’ve been talking a lot about family, childhood memories and nostalgia this week, but let’s have some fun with this, and get to know each other on a level unrelated to sickness.
Here we go….
Growing up, what were your favorite:
1. Movies
2. Music
3. Breakfast Cereal
4. Dinners
5. Special Treat or Candy
6. Color
My answers are….
1. Movies: The Goonies, Princess Bride, Robin Hood (that was weirdly my favorite Disney cartoon; no princesses for me), and Stand By Me
2. Music: I inherited taste from my family – Jimmy Buffet, Dave Matthews Band, Grateful Dead, etc- but my very first CD was Cake (from one of those CD ordering services they used to have), followed by Green Day and REM.
3. Breakfast Cereal: My Mom was super “crunchy granola” (into health food), so any time we got fun cereal it was thrilling. My favorites were actually Cracklin Oat Bran, followed by Grape Nuts. So… not that wild?
4. Dinners: My Mom made really healthy meals most of the time, but I thought Velveeta Mac n’ cheese was heaven sent. I also loved cooked spinach, and her asian-style rice (rice, soy sauce, tons of veggies, tempeh, and almonds on top)
5. Special Treat or Candy: I was always an ice cream kid… followed by pie… and finally candy. (Laffy Taffy is a nostalgic fav)
6. Color: Purple then, Black now
