Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most trivial things people miss from their childhood. Oh, to be a kid again. It's a strange time when if one is lucky, their world isn't burdened by the wealth of "adulting concerns" that otherwise can haunt one's existence as they grow older.

    Text - Text - presidentkangaroo • 18h Hearing my grandpa's stories... waking up in the morning and looking forward to the day, and not being wracked by anxiety and depression... getting a sandwich from my favorite long-shut deli after school... turning on the news and not fearful of what l'd see and hear.... having more energy.... not being addicted to the internet and social media and smart phones.... where do I stop?

    Text - Text - SheShouldGo • 17h Believing that the adults around me were as happy as I was at the time. Not knowing all the crap going on, that they protected me from, as well as the things I just accepted as normal.

    Text - Text - animellow • 18h I find it a bit strange but I kind of miss the commercials such as the Shirley Temple collection or Recess Puffs that came on when I was trying to watch Spongebob or something. I used to find those commercials so annoying as a kid because they came on at what seemed to be the worst times but since I stopped using cable in favor of streaming services I found myself missing them quite a bit.

    Text - Text - Hereatrandom • 17h Not being judged for eating bagel bites, and the excitement on Christmas Eve. Sure, Christmas can still be exciting as an adult, but it's nothing like the anticipation of a child waiting for Christmas morning.

    Text - Text - cptadder • 18h I miss arcades, I miss the mall in North Carolina that's long since closed down that had an amazing Toy's R Us across the street, a Spinnaker's at one end of the mall which made that entire wing smell like amazing fresh bread 24/7 and about 25% of the stores had wood panel walls you see in smoke shops most places. I went through North Carolina last year after being away 15+ years and it was how crap some of the malls had gotten and the fact South Square was shut down
