Where you told not too and never did?or you just couldnt control yourself not to?Why was it so fun for you to do this?Was it the sound of the water that it made when you jumped in it/the splashing of the water on you or just to annoy your parents?ha,ha.

I used to love doing that, i did it all the time. Me and my friend actually did it not too long ago on a night out. We had quite a bit to drink and were walking to get a cab and just starting jumping in puddles and kicking water at our friends, it's so much fun to act like a big kid sometimes!

Yes I did, and all of my 7 children did as well ! Sometimes when I see a giant puddle I still think of how much fun it would be to just run over and jump in LOL ! One day I may just do it to shock my children, now thats getting even !

It shocks our kids anytime we do things they do and they don't expect us to do it. It is very funny seeing the looks on their faces ! LOL !!!!!

Hey, ya I remeber, splashing water on my friends and in turn they doing the same to me. Actually I love it when it rains, and I also enjoy a lot of those last remains of the rains. I loved splashing those puddles, I loved the cool water and I never worried about getting dirty. It was so much fun.
These days I can't have that much fun because my pants or my jeans may get wet and dirty and then I might not feel well.
When we are kids we are so care free and fun filled. We just couldn't stop at the site of fun and indulge into it. I remember doin a lot of funny stuffs, one of which inclued digging tunnels of the size of my wrist into the piles of sand and then enjoy the coolness inside.
Childhood was fun and I miss it a lot.
Take Care
May GOD Bless YOU

Hi!I know,when we are older we only think about getting a cold and sick from the wet water but when we were little we did not care or even think about that stuff.It was too much fun and just couldnt pass one puddle up without jumping in it.I loved to play with mud too,the coolness of it was awsome,squishey between the fingers and made some good mud pies out of it too,he,he.:)

Forget about when I was a child. I still love to jump in water puddles now LOL I know, I know ... I'm an adult now, shouldn't be doing that stuff. And of course can't really do it all the time. It would be interesting being ready to go to work, and then jump in a puddle and get my clothes all wet heeheheheh
However on rainy days I like to take a walk - yes I like to walk in the rain LOL - and occasionally I still indulge :)

Hi peanutjar!
I loved jumping in puddles when I was a kid, I still do actually but shhhh don't tell anyone hehehe! I used to do it to hear the sploosh, and get covered in water, I always wore a rain jacket and rubber boots though so my clothes wouldn't get wet. Take Care Hun!
Love & Hugzz, Your Friend, PurpleTeddyBear

Hi gabs!Its hard to control from not doing something like this when you are a child,even now i find myself wanting to just run and jump in the middle of one just to experience that eeling of being young again,lol.I wish i was a child again,to go for a walk in the woods and let my imagination take over and pretend its a path that leads to a castle with goblins hiding behind the trees,lol.:)

Not only puddles my friend, but I also used to swim on some of those flood waters that used to overflow on our river. We used to live near a river, but we decided to leave the place since it is unsafe for us to stay there. We have to make alot of considerations, from it's hazards and for our health.
I remember swimming along with chunks of garbage flowing along the stream, it makes my stomach turn upside-down everytime I get flashbacks of those!:( I know it's not that healthy, but I still did jumped into it since I was still young back then and it is fun.

We (my sister & brother) would always jump in mudd puddles..We had this part of our front yard that always got alittle deep above our ankle and it was big...it took up alot of our yard...And we would run and slide in it and act like we were swimming all the time..We loved when it was raining our parents would let us go out in the rain and play and we alway would play in that puddle or go to the corner of the house where the water would drain and just sit under it...I don't think my parents minded to much cause we lived out in the country and nothing to do and that gave us something to do and keep us out of our parents hair! :)

I use to love jumping in really big puddles. Me and my brothers and sister would have a great time doing it. A couple of times in university me and my friends went puddle jumping after it had been raining. We probably looked crazy but we needed to destress and that was a fabulous way.
