THINGS THAT I USED TO DO WHEN I WAS A CHILD

Sometimes, I think about many things I used to do when I was a child. They are beautiful memories, of course! And I miss those years. Those years that the only thing I used to do was to be very happy and enjoy every second without problems and doing things that I can't do now because of the responsibility, and sometimes due to the fear. When you are a child, you have no complications, no fear and no responsibility. I remeber that, when I fell down, I always had my parents saying to me: You have ti be more carefull! But they healed my injuries. Now it isn't the same. I'm not a child, so I mustn't behave like a child, I have to heal my injuries and I can't press my mum's hand if 'Betadine' itches on my injuries. Also, I remeber that I used to paint on the floor and my mother said to me while she was laughing: You're terrible, little princess!

There's an animal that brings me good memories. The snail. When there was a terrible storm, my father and I used to catch snails. We put them in a box with holes, so that they could breath, and also, gave them some lettuce. When they were satisfied with the meal, I caught two or three and my friends and I used to do 'snail races'. They were very funny, because we splashed the laziest snails. Another memory, is when it was my birthday, organized a party for me with all my friends, and we play water wars with balloons. Then my parenst bought me a big cake with many candles and the princess of Disney ( I ate them, because they were made of chocolate!)

But I can't complain about my life. I have learnt that the good old days are now.
