These Are The Bowls Of Our Lives

A couple of years ago I was at my parents' house when I came across these bowls boxed away in their basement.


I remember these bowls from when I was a kid, so I instantly snagged them to add them to my cupboards.

They're just bowls, but I have so many memories with these bowls. I can remember eating Mrs. Grass's noodle soup out of them when I was sick. Soup that my mom had made for me when she stayed home from work to take care of me. I remember sitting at the breakfast table with my little sister in just our underwear eating our cereal out of these bowls. We would fight over who got to read the back of the cereal box and who had to stare at the front. I remember eating ice cream out of these bowls and Cheez-Its for an evening snack.

Even now, every time I fill these bowls with soup or ice cream, I remember being a kid.

It's funny what items bring back memories. These bowls used to sit in my mother's kitchen, but now they are in mine, becoming a part of another generation's childhood memories.

What seemingly random item brings back childhood memories for you?

What about me? I have memories of these same bowls. Why don't I get one? You get dibs on everything. Being second born stinks ;)

We used to have these metal (maybe aluminum?) cups that were brightly colored blue, magenta, silver, and gold, and then these peach, gray, and blue colored tupperware cups and every time I see them at my mom's or dad's, I go back. :)

OMG! These must be from my mom's kitchen! Those really take me back. They were our chili bowls. Sure wish I had ours today!
