"Do you remember the old roller city days?"
"No I don't my memory is shit."
Something that was such a huge part of my childhood, lost to the other person. He was my boy best friend at that time. The most care-free point in our lives at seven years old. We got along so well because I was such a tomboy. Mud, worms and mess interested me whereas all the other girls wanted to sit indoors watching Cinderella (just like to add that I was not deprived of the Disney classics) him and me were running around his garden being chased by his baby ducks.
"They follow me because they think I'm their mummy," he used to tell me. A fact that totally fascinated me and I wished that maybe one day I'd be adoptive mother to a small team of ducklings. I remember Sid the dog, he was the most ancient dog I had ever seen. Blind as a bat and totally deaf but he loved Sid more than anything else in the world. Him and his family found little Sid at the side of the road and decided to take him in. He'd had Sid for most of his life.
Our favourite song was Just a Little Bit by Liberty X, but not because of the actual song. In the first line was the word 'sexy'. This was the rudest word ever to us. We would never actually say it but when it came on the radio we would take one look at each other and be in fits of giggles for minutes. Reminiscing on these little childlike mannerisms has put pangs of longing in my stomach. Longing to go back to my care-free childhood, longing for messing around without anything to worry about. Never mind, right now is the best point in our lives and I'm definitely going to make the most of it, like I did back then.
