Yes, of course. I had a happy childhood. Can still remember when my sister buy something for herself she will get the same for us too. My childhood is simple but happy.

Yes! Though in those days, we do not have a computer to play computer games, we don't own any of the Wii, Play Station, X-Box, Nintendo, etc for games, we do not have many toys, but we were still happy. We played catching, running around the neighborhood, hide-and-seek, hiding on the ledge outside the window of the upper floor, climbing pipes from one storey high, exploring those large drains along the road, and so on. These are the things we played and enjoyed during childhood. Most kids these days do not do all these and most probably are not be allowed to play all these dangerous 'games'. Come to think of it now, they are dangerous to some extend. lol.

I enjoyed my childhood to the max.. I used to play badminton, cricket etc..Once storm has affected my place and fishes from the nearby lake has entered into my street..i had a great time by collecting those small fishes using a net and put them in a bottle..initially my mom disliked it..but never ever caught me scolding for all this trivial things..I have a younger brother with whom i play wwf which is now wwe..we both fight with each other badly using pillows and all..its a wonderful memory..

I did enjoy my childhood very much. But then again, I wasn't working eight hours a day at the age of five. I don't think a child needs alot of toys to be happy. A child should be given a chance to be a child. I enjoyed sports. As long as we had a ball to throw around, we were happy.
