Childhood Homes

Have you ever returned to the house or apartment of your childhood?  Have you ever returned to view your childhood bedroom?  If you have, the house and the bedroom probably seemed small to you.  This was my experience when I went into our old family house.  The rooms seemed small and my old bedroom seemed so tiny.  It's hard to believe that my sister and I successfully shared  such a tight space.  As adults now in our own homes, we are accustomed to much more space.  In our current houses, some of us even have private bathrooms. Remember when everyone in the house used the same bathroom?
If you do visit your childhood house, it may not seem that familiar after all this time,  but you will probably see one spot in the house that will bring back a warm memory.  Maybe it's the heating grate you stood on to get warm, or the initials you carved in the banister, or the staircase step that creaked when you did not want it to...
