It got me thinking about my memories growing up.

I don't remember much from when I was super young, but my favourite memory (if I had to pick) was when I was about 10 or 11. I was in year 5 at school and one day I visited my Grandad. He said "Hey! I found something cool in the garden" and so I rushed to see what it was. We started digging a little bit into this already half-dug hole and I discovered an egg.
Now, I was in love with dinosaurs. I obsessed over them. I knew it was a fossilised egg of some sort.
Anyway so we chiseled away at it with some special tools and eventually we discovered it was a velociraptor fossil.
I took it in for show and tell and I convinced myself as well as all my friends that I, a 10 year old schoolboy, discovered a prehistoric dinosaur.
I was so happy. Few years later when I was about 13 he told me it was all a joke and it was one of those collectible magazine prop things.
I didn't get mad at him though because it was such a happy time in my life, like he went through all this effort to convince me and make me happy. I'd do anything to go back an relive that day.
Thank you, Grandad. <3
Do you guys have any fond memories that you'd like to share?

Wouldn't call this my most favourite memory at all but its the first one that came into my head.

I was in Croatia on holiday when 9/11 happened and I remember watching it all unfold on TV with my Mum, step dad and other holiday goers.

As we all know security was tight as and we all had to walk one way off the plane into the luggage hall. Well, me being me wanted the toilet and thought it was a good idea to run the wrong way to find one. nearly pooing myself by the loud voices coming from security guards and the Army but that wasn't the worst part. I had guns locked and ready to fire right at me.

So yeah that is one of the biggest memories I have as a child.

(FYI i am half asleep so hope it made sense McCoy)
