Hive-Reachout Weekly Prompt 38: - Things you did that you find childish now
Childhood is always joyful. Especially now that we are grown up, childhood days were really very joyful and childhood was a lot more fun and childhood days were very sweet. Because all the things we did in childhood were only for pleasure. But day after day, now we have grown up and now we are old. But we have several memories in childhood that really make us smile a lot when we remember them and those childish days are still remembered. When we remember those childish behaviors, now we feel like if we could go back to those days, how good would it be?
But I refuse to accept the fact that I can never go back to my childhood.
I enjoyed many wonderful times in my childhood. One of those times was Eid day. Because on Eid day, I would take a bath with my friends in the morning and after eating light sweets, we would go to the Eidgah to celebrate Eid. We would finish the Eid prayers and when we came home, all of us would cry a lot to take selfies together. Although we didn't have good quality phones to take selfies then, we would take some kind of photography using button phones and capture them in a frame.
After praying in the Eid field, I used to be very happy about who had how much money and how much Eid salami we received. I would greet all my relatives and accept greetings from them. Now, when I think of one thing, I feel very ashamed. Because greeting with my feet is a normal thing. However, when I think of the fact that I used to greet and then shake hands and receive Eid salami, I feel very ashamed now. Although those relatives are still alive, I feel really ashamed now when I remember those old childhood words.
After growing up, I always decided to save some money in my mind. But in my childhood, I only had one thought: to buy good sweets or fun things to eat. Because in my childhood, I did not understand the concept of saving money at all and whenever I got money, I felt very happy in my mind that I could spend it.
I still have many memories of Eid. Before Eid came, I used to ask my father for Eid clothes. Now, the financial situation in our family was not good at all. We used to earn our living by making ends meet. My father is a farmer and our family expenses were met with a small income.
However, when Eid came, I used to cry and beg for new Eid clothes. My father had no money, but even then, he had to buy us clothes somehow and I used to cry a lot for it.
Sometimes when my father wouldn't buy me new clothes for Eid, I would lie on the ground, cry, and cover my whole body with dust. I really miss my childhood days so much that I can't even describe it.
I still remember it very well. When I went to see the Eid fair, that time was very happy for me. Because I only spent $0.10 to go to a fair on Eid. Nowadays, a minimum of $10 is required to visit a fair. However, we walked some distance and took a rickshaw for some distance and slept at the fair. It only cost $0.5 to go to the fair and I was able to bring back the remaining $0.3 back home. How do you think this is funny, right?
Actually, sometimes these childhood moments give me a lot of joy. Although in childhood I thought that this was right and should have been, now I think they were really childish behavior. Due to childish behavior, we did not understand them and now we understand those mistakes as adults.
Really, those childish behaviors of childhood gave me a lot of joy in childhood. Finally, I am very happy to share my childish behavior post with you. Thank you very much for enjoying it.

I love how you started your writeup, "childhood is always joyful".
When I was kid, I wished I would be forever young. Amazing post.
Those photos are lovely, the kids look happy.
It strange how we hardly find time to visit those relatives we do visit during festival period to collect money from them, I personally think childhood is the best
