Re: What is your fav memory of growing up?
I gotta say my favorite memories would probably be from 8th grade till 12 grade. My friend Adam and I would hang out every day. We were the closest friends, and now I hardly ever hear from him.
Sometimes I cannot believe the things that we got away with when we were younger. All the times I got drunk, or I would smoke (cigarettes) and my parents never knew. I remember hanging out on top of the dental office in Lynbrook.....All of our friends would hang out there.....until the cops chased us that one time....That was the end of that....I have plenty of memories...including: Going out egging and shaving on Haloween, going to parties at my friends houses, Cruising Deer Park Avenue, and Hempstead Tpke, going to clubs when they used to play good music....you know freestyle from the 80's....Things were so much different back then....At that age, i didnt have to worry about working, or saving money or anything....I just lived for that day.....

Hanging out in front of my house with the neighborhood kids, playing jump rope, tag, hide and seek.
Screaming at boys when they past us on their skateboards

Re: What is your fav memory of growing up?
When I was growing up every Sunday my dad would take me out to breakfast, just me and him. My sister and brothers would stay at home with my mom and I love having time alone with him.

Re: What is your fav memory of growing up?
I loved playing with my sister. We used to put on shows when people came over. She would play the snake charmer song on her clarinet and I would 'slither' out of our laundry basket to the music. That was one of our best ones!
As far as teenage years go, my favorite memories include things related to cheerleading, probably spending the night out TPing the football players houses for a big game!

Re: What is your fav memory of growing up?
Hated childhood. Wanted desperately to get out.. couldnt STAND summers when I couldnt escape.
Only really good memory that pops out goes right back to my favorite toy.
The Empire Strikes Back scene of the planet Hoth is supposed to be snowy. So my brother and I took two bottles of baby powder and used it on the action set to make 'snow'. We were a mess, but we had a GREAT time. One of the best moments of my childhood, ever.
