Looking at kids nowadays is just sad because we know at least we had a proper childhood! The smallest things made us happy and life was just somehow simpler.
Coming across some childhood memories courtesy of Bimbo Memories and El Dofda3 Kermit, we felt a nostalgia that made us want to take a trip down memory lane and remember all these beautiful memories.
