what's your fave childhood trip/experience?
I will apologize in advance because this is going to be really lame jfdhfdhfgd. Also putting it under a read more because you know, story time.
My fave experience as a kid would be the time when my grandparents were building their summer house.
The cabin has a gable roof. The roof was tall enough that you could fully stand in the middle of the 2nd floor loft (the edges of the loft did not have a full height ceiling). The foundations of the cabin are also fairly high because it's built on a hillside. So, not a very low building.
I helped my grandpa and dad by bringing them nails to the roof in a little sand bucket by climbing up the ladder to the roof.
I was maybe six years old.
They let a six-year-old climb up to the unfinished roof of a two-story building to deliver nails in a sand bucket.
I have no idea how my mother and grandmother allowed this to happen but they did.
(They also let me trapeze around on the bare roof beams before any other parts of the roof were laid on so I was literally just hanging out on the roof beams having the best time of my life.)
It probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone that my motto as a kid was 'higher'.
*Gollum Voice* Ask Us
#noopa rambles#qayalec#*gollum voice* ask us#I've probably told this story to you before but my brain is absolutely empty of anything else#it just popped up and monopolized my brain cells#nothing quite sticks out like the 'let the six-y-o climb a ladder to the roof#I also have fond climb on the roof memories from the cabin of my other grandma#I was a bit older then though probably like 10 or smt#and that cabin (technically the sauna building) wasn't quite as tall#and I never got to stand on bare roof beams there :/#just the mostly finished product#we used spare roof material pieces to make art by sticking random flowers on it#the material was like this kumibitumi (idk what that is in english) sheet thing that had a sticky underside#so we just stuck plants and shit on that#I think my grandma still has some of that plant art around the cabin to this day
