What takes you straight back to childhood?

Today it was a stupid question, I used to get into trouble for questioning this sort of thing when I was small, and this just transported me straight back there

DH "What the hell is this?"

Me "It's a tail bandage"

DH "I know what it is what is it doing here?"

Conversation in my head...

Well if you already know what it is, why ask WHAT? ask to start with what is the tail bandage doing here. Then actually you don't need to ask that either, because the only reason there is a tail bandage would be in the clean laundry basket I'm carrying is
1) I forgot to hide it
2) I have just washed it.

So the question should be "Why did you wash the tail bandage in the laundry with my underwear?"

Then the answer is easy, "It's OK the horses don't mind sharing"


(It's OK it was actually a clean bandage just being refreshed


So share the thing that takes you back to childhood

Ha Ha, that is funny and.... a little gross. Never Never Never wash any horse stuff with my own clothes. Icky.

If you are truly asking what takes me back to childhood. Smells. Certain smells, and songs will all of a sudden spark a memory of being young. Maybe not a child as that was so long ago. ha ha

Brad would have been THRILLED that I was walking in with a basket of clean laundry for him. Apparently he is unable to find the washing machine himself, and that annoys me, so I do his laundry when he has worn the same socks at least twice, then the smell gets to me. Dude, I am not your momma!

The thing that takes me back to my childhood is a farrier hot shoeing. I love that smell.

Quality street. My grandma almost always had some out, I'd always eat the toffee fingers. Certain places in whistler, like lost lake we used to go up every summer with my cousins. Lucky charms. Climbing trees. Swing sets. Parks.

The smell just after it rains in the desert. I don't know why - but that just takes me back.

I am not sure why it matters if horse stuff is washed w people stuff. My family doesn't appreciate it, so I don't do it. I use a stack of "flour sack" tea towels for this and that w the horses, but I bleach and wash them separately although it is not possible that they will "contaminate" anything they are bleached and washed with....its all in their minds.

Sailor Moon. My best friend and I always used to watch it after school, then we'd talk about it the next day. We still get each other Sailor Moon memorabilia for Christmas and whatnot. :lol:

And jelly shoes. We used to love those when we were wee little. I'm trying to find a pair to get her as a gag. lol
