Saturday Senses

Let’s see what we got here… Memory lane the second.

[sight]:: watching cartoons
Sunday mornings, when I was maybe 4. We had a black and white TV, made color by a transparent hanging over it. The first TV show I ever watched – “Die Sendung mit der Maus”, a German children’s program with a mouse and a blue elephant.

[taste]:: wedding cake
I actually can’t remember ever eating one, although I must have. But the marrying thing has only just started with my friends – I’m sure I’ll get my chance to consciously taste one… 🙂

[smell]:: laundry soap
My mom pouring a basket full of freshly laundered bedsheets over me. The clean, fresh smell surrounds me, the sheets still warm, and I hide my head in them.

[touch]:: unwraping a present
My 20th birthday, when my best friend gave me a big box, filled with 20 gifts while we were at the pub celebrating. All my friends were there and watched me, laughing and commenting as I unwrapped one gift after the other.

[hearing]:: school bell
Sitting in class, glancing at my watch constantly. Slowly starting to pack up my things, hoping the teacher won’t notice. Finally, the bell, and everyone jumps up and runs out, me one of the first. Freedom! 🙂
