Rainy days, happy childhood memories

indeed.. at this time.. we don't often see children playing in the rain.. this is maybe because they do not consider it interesting.. they are scared of getting sick and they also prefer staying at home and playing online games or surfing the net. This clearly shows that the generation has been changing.. However, i still want to go back at the time when i used to play under the rain. It feels so good especially when you are with your friends..It so sad that children nowadays could not experience what i have experienced. It is one of the most enjoyable and unforgettable moment in life.

Yes, I used to play in the rain a lot as a child. There was even a time that after the rain, I found a toadstool mushroom and ATE IT! There was also a time during my teens that I asked one of my best friends to sit in the rain with me. It was fun, as she hadn't bathed in the rain since she was a child, by then. :) Rain reminds me of an innocent time. It is also a time to think and to wax poetic. I think of it as a time to drink tea or coffee. It's also a time to write. I love the feeling that the rain gives me. :)

I have both bad and good experiences with the rain. When i was child me and my siblings would enjoy bathing under the rain and just playing. My mother never got angry when we do. She was never worried that we might get sick. She just tells us not to go out unless it's a heavy downpour, then she would give us a bottle of shampoo and a bar of soap. With regards to the bad experience i would like to keep it to myself as i don't want to recall it.

Rainy days remind me when I was younger when I would play in the rain with my next door neighbor

For me, childhood was a very long time ago. I don't remember much about playing in the rain, but I do have memories connected with the rain. In the first house I remember we had a fireplace. Whenever it rained, my mother used to pop corn over the fire in one of those box-shaped poppers with a long handle. To this day I associate rainy weather with popcorn, and I crave it when we have a heavy rain. When I was in elementary school we had very poor drainage in our part of town. Our street and neighboring streets became like lakes and rivers, and we had to take our shoes off coming home from school or we would get them wet. When my son was about 11, we had a huge rain storm and we wanted to collect the rain from the gutter spouts. I still remember him in his yellow poncho, reveling in moving the barrels to fill them up. He was so happy in the rain and so proud of himself for collecting all that water. I still love rain. I even wrote a Squidoo lens called "The Blessings of Rain" and it's full of rain related music videos. I also work best at writing when it's raining -- unless the power goes out and the computer has to be turned off.
