[Contest by @ averageoutsider] My Early Childhood

in #writingcontest6 years ago (edited)

Everyone has a place to return, it is home. And there is at least a period of time in the life to get back, which is childhood.

That day stayed with the foolish and naive. Sad never stay too long.

I find myself is very lucky to have a sweet childhood with beautiful memories with family and friends. I secretly thanked everyone around me for giving me a complete childhood.

My childhood are.......


.....the stories are told by my grandmother every night

I still remember, every evening i was eager to wait for the moment to lie on the bed with her. And listen to the fairy tale "once upon a time". I lay hugged her, inhaling smell of chewing betel nut around her. In Vietnam, old people often eat betel. It's very traditional in here.

Listening to her story, my mind was soaring with fairy tales, the princess, the prince and magic.

At that time, I was three or four years old, the stories painted in my mind like white paper with beautiful colors. They sow in my head new images, a world of sparkling colors.


.....the days go to the beach with my loved father in summer


Fortunately, my house is only 10km from the beach. So sometimes my dad used to take us to go there. I like to go there because it is spoiled in the clear water, green. I was greeted by the cool breeze from the sea blowing away the hot, sultry summer.

At that time Dad came down to embrace me for a photo shoot, at which I felt very cold. Standing in my father's arms, I felt so warm in my arms. Now when I think back, I still feel the warmth.

My father has gone for 10 years. I still miss him very much. I have the feeling he is always watching me, watching the lives of everyone in the family. And Dad is smiling. Laugh because people are living very happy.


.....the days I accompanied with mother to flower market on New Year


Tet holiday is a very important and very sacred in our country. Before Tet, I used to go to the market to buy things for this holiday.

This year's flower market is as bustling as previous years such as: Cherry blossom, peach blossom, chrysanthemum etc. In the market there was a lot of busy people with a happy laugh to choose the most brilliant flowers to worship and decorate the house next Tet.

People think that each flower will have a certain meaning, if the purchase of flowers suitable can bring more luck for the family.

Lovely flowers in the spring sun was more attractive. The buyers choose the roses not only because it is beautiful, but also want the family to be hamlet, add love link between members.

I and my mother together to choose and buy flowers brought home. My home was full of happiness and laugh.


My life has changed a lot, but memories of my childhood I never forget. I have grown up a lot and have my own family. I always wanted my kids have a peaceful childhood and many memories

Thank you @lantracy for entering your story, which was happy and spirited. The structure of your composition was a bit of a challenge, but points will not be taken away for that; because English is not your native tongue. I would be worse trying to write in Vietnamese...

You have a beautiful country, with beautiful people in it. I hope your day is a happy one.

You're right. I was thinking for a while when I want to express my thoughttrau cau.jpg

This is kind of food my grandmother really addict. I don't know how to say, I have searched in Internet , and the result is "chewing betel nut", which to be used in my above post. Ha ha

Yes...we call it Betel nut in English. I know that it helps give you energy, and stains the teeth...

actually, this's not used to stain the steeth. We use a special recipe for that.

I love your post, your content is oriented towards family affection, I always enjoy reading articles about family.

great, i'm happy when you like it
