• That Childhood Memory You Never Had

Talk about shit everyone else experienced as a kid, but you missed out on. I never had a cavity or went on an Easter egg hunt.
Never had cable television. That means no cartoon network shows, no nickelodeon shows, and no that third one whose name I can't remember.
I guess I should consider myself lucky, but my brother and I have never had any physical fights, we only argued vocally.
Never really saw my dad outside jail, so I never got to spend time with him or get to know him at all. Was just my grandparents and my mom.
I never got in a physical altercation with a student. I feel like I missed out on a glorious opportunity to see my parents get pissed at the school for me getting punished for defending myself.
Never went to summercamp
I never broke any bones.
i still haven't gone fishing with my granddad even though he said we would like 8 years ago
Disneyland :(
Never got into a real fight. Punched another kid in the face once, but it was over right after that
I never really got to be a boy. I never got an major injury, like breaking my arm, getting in a hunting accident, or just hurting myself doing something stupid like jumping off my roof into a pile of leaves with a matress in it. It makes me a little jealous because my dad has a bunch of scars all over him and he can tell a detailed story if I ask him about one. It's a dumb thing to want, but I want something funny to tell my future kids as well. I also never went to Disneyland, Disneyworld, Six Flags, a 5 star hotel, New York, New Orleans, Las Vegas, or anything else cool that those cool kids are always bragging about being taken to.

I have muscle damage in my left calf muscle from an ATV accident 3 years ago, and it fucks with me in winter, getting stiff and painful. It's only going to get worse as i get older. Consider yourself lucky that you haven't had any of those things happen. Breaking an arm can lead to chronic pain, a gunshot wound can lead to nerve and muscle damage. Getting hurt doing dumb things is not part of "being a boy". Also, never been to Disneyland or Disneyworld, but i have been to six flags, a 5 star hotel, New York, New Orleans, and Vegas, and let me tell you, those places are overrated to hell and back. There isn't shit to do in New York, aside from ride on the subway and try not to suffocate. The funnest part of New Orleans is the French Quarter, and that's closed off for anyone under 21 past dark now. A 5 star hotel is extremely boring, but is nice to stay in for a while. Six Flags is overrated, but can be really fun. Vegas has the same problem as New Orleans, all of the truly fun stuff isn't permitted for kids. You haven't missed much.
I never watched Adult swim
Pokemon. Nintendo. Uhh, yeah,
Never had a Nintendo 64
Wasn't allowed a console. Never played sports with my Dad. Never played Pokemon. Didn't have cable/satellite TV to watch cartoons.
Video games In specific, all the ones that get brought up in the millions of those 'nostalgic' threads, I have never played any of those
Haven't grown up with Nintendo after Pokemon Gold/Silver. I have played SSB with friends at school while slacking off or in free periods though.
Any memories of my grandfather. I remember him, how he looked and all that, but the only memory I ever had of him turned out to be false/made up/misremembered somehow. That makes me sad.
Sleepovers I guess? I was born in a typical asian household and I was sorta embarrassed with my parents so I rarely invited anyone over. I only went to someone else's house twice but I was really shy so I guess it was partially my fault. Other than that my childhood was okay. Can't say I regret not doing that many things.
Never spent time with my dad playing or shit like that. He was either busy with my brother,sister or out with his friends. At least this helped me become more independent,as i learned to tie my shoes and ride a bike by myself.
I never saw the Lion King or Toy Story.
I wish I had more family, since the only people I know are my mother, brother and sister. I have my grandmother and uncle but they live somewhere else. There was no special family bond and I hate that I had no family to support my loneliness and depression through my childhood. Oh well, everyone has their problems.
Never got grounded, or otherwise given punishment. Just the occasional clip over the back of the head if I was silly but that's it. Also never broke anything expensive.
Never had a Megadrive when I was a kid, I used to play my cousins when we went on holiday. So 15 years later I bought one on Ebay just because I simply felt I had to have it, even If I was 15 years late.

I didn't piss in my pants in front of the whole class
Never had chickenpox
[QUOTE=ScottyWired;42464144] Also never broke anything expensive.[/QUOTE] That's not missing out, I broke expensive shit all the time, it was not a pleasant experience for any of the parties involved
Didn't have a console, a decent pc, cable and internet until I was already a teenager. I always had to go to my friend and play video games at his house. It was fun but sometimes he wouldn't let me play or got pissy when I beat him. Sucks to be that poor kid. I was lucky enough to have a gameboy and being able to afford a new game for it once in 3 months or so.
