Senior jellies: "It looks smaller now than I remember it." Have you been back? and did it?

Trees. Trees are often bigger than I remember, but that makes sense, because they grew lots and I didn’t. :-)

Candy bars.

Yes, and I don’t think the shrinkage was caused by cold water. ;-o

I haven’t been by my family home since we sold it, except every night while I sleep.
Old cars are smaller. I have seen old cars like my family had, and I wonder how we all fit.

Sorry, but that is between me and my priest.

Yeah my Grandparent’s house as a kid the place seemed huge, now not so much.

I don’t think I am a senior yet, but….In my late 20s I went back for a tour of my old grade school. And yes, it seemed a LOT smaller.

It doesn’t have to do with the physical size we were. either. I first was six feet tall the summer I turned sixteen—and places I visited such as on church family camps and youth retreats, and grandparents’ houses—all seem much smaller. I am surprised they comfortably held all the people. My elementary school only had sixteen classrooms and a couple of portable buildings, but had over a thousand kids. It doesn’t make sense mathematically but we were never even crowded.

Last summer I visited the house where i grew up. It felt small. My memories of the house were of it being much, much bigger.

I looked up the square footage of the house. It’s only 100 square feet smaller than where I currently live. However, this house has a very open floor plan, unlike my childhood house.

^^^100 sq feet? Thats like, 10 ft by 10ft….bedroom sized.

Twenty five years ago I visited my childhood town. The only thing that looked smaller are the yards. They looked so much larger as a child. Everything else looked the same although my house looked rundown. It was a magical experience going up north again.

I’ll have to take the Fifth on that. Memory ain’t what it used to be. I can’t even remember what I had for breakfast today.
