When #IWasAKid...
When I was a kid, I was an ACTUAL RAINBOW.
courtesy of mom's creative costuming geniusWhen I was a kid, movies where bullies picked on the little guy and where creatures were hurt or neglected made me cry. 
When I was a kid, I always asked for the “boys” toy in a happy meal- because hot wheels beat barbies ANY DAY. 
When I was a kid, my german auto technician father would come home from work, and I’d sit on his lap and ask him a ZILLION questions about important things, (like molded plastic), like an analog version of “How its Made.”
When I was a kid, when my parents would sarcastically ask if I was raised by wolves, I’d reply, “I wish!”
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with robots… When I was a kid, I was never more happy than when I was outside exploring. When I was a kid, I wore a pair of denim shorts overalls and a backwards Yankees cap every day of the summer. When I was a kid, I wished that my parents would fight less. When I was a kid, summer trips to Coney Island, Chinatown, & The Museum of Natural History were my FAVORITE.
Coney Island is still one of my favorite places on earth... When I was a kid, I taught all my classmates how to play blackjack on the playground
When I was a kid, I rode and helped fix, bikes, scooters, go karts, mopeds motorcycles and Vespas. Anything that would make me go ZOOM!
The 1964 Sears Allstate Vespa Dad and I rebuilt When I was a kid, and someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I’d say “Happy”. —and I still do...**
*GIRL. THOSE JEANS THO!! YES!

daww thank you LL! <3
That rainbow outfit is so classic ! Thanks for sharing these.
Thanks! It looks like i was enjoying it at the time as well!
This is a cool challenge. Hmm, I might want to do it with art rather than photos, hope that'd be ok. Of course my main desire as a kid was animals, and well, that never went away and I am surrounded by them. I guess I never really grew up ;)
Go for it! :D @grow-pro said to be as creative as you like, I say run with it :)
Loved your post!!!!!! you looks happy girl and that is important. My favorite photo was when you were a rainbow ;-)
haha that's my favorite too @abundancedeal! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!
Adorable pictures! It sounds like you had a lot of fun growing up.
What do you zoom around on now? Motorcycles? Airplanes? Go-carts?
Oh I WISH I had a go-kart as an adult lol. I don't have many toys as I've been bi-continental recently- but @teamhumble and I hope to have a van and a pair of rad e-bikes to get from place to place on some day :)
bi-continental, do tell.
haha yes between the UK & US :)
I would love an e-bike. Or an electric motorcycle!
yes yes!!! Both my parents had motorcycles growing up, so my love of two wheeled transport runs deep haha would LOVE a vespa again one day
Oh - let's all go to Europe and buy Vespas and explore!
Lol oh the life !

a very touching story @dayleeo. I really like your story💕
thank you friend
Dayleeeeeeooooo all these pictures give me a punky Brewster vibe, so cute :)
Oh my goodness LOL you're too funny, I was a definite tom boy for sure, oh to be a kid in the 80s & 90s :)
Okey, how cute is this! Your pics are so cool! :)
I think we were really happy to grow before the whole Internet/fashion babys/baby influencers thing :D I appreciate it :)
Haha yeah I feel like I grew up in the perfect spot where I remember a life “unconnected” but was exposed young enough to really fall in love with it :) 💕
Could you be any cuter? Love the costume and oh my with that Vespa, that must have been fun.
SO fun! Of course I wasnt allowed to ride that until I was a bit older, but there wasn't much that didnt zoom that I wasn't involved with from a very young age haha Thank you @sunscape!
