What's your favourite childhood memory?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

When I was little, I used to spend summers with my grandparents, which was nice, because I was an only child, and there were always a lot of kids there, either cousins or kids from the neighborhood. The cousin who was closest to me in age was my best friend, and we spent the summers getting into all kinds of trouble. Once, we convinced ourselves that we could fly, if we could just get big enough wings. So we had a number of these giant-sized coloring books, like 3 feet tall by a foot and a half wide, and we thought they'd be just about perfect. So one day, we strapped them to our arms with string and surgical tape, and spent the day jumping off of things - the swingset, the treehouse, the roof of the house - while flapping our arms wildly, trying to catch some air in those coloring books, trying to see if there was an angle at which we could hold our arms, or a flapping speed that would carry us any further. Of course, as soon as someone saw us, we had to come and sit inside quietly until they were able to determine that we hadn't injured ourselves in the exercise, but right up until that point, that day is my favorite childhood memory.
