Childhood on Songkran Day 69
Children's feelings on Songkran are often filled with excitement and a brighter-than-normal world, described as the following:
Excitement and waiting: For children, Songkran Day is the day they look forward to for so long, feeling like they have been "freed" from daily life or school.
The World of Fun Without Limits: In children's eyes, a device like a water gun, a water tank, or a bucket of water is a "weapon" of fun; they will feel the freedom to run a splash with their friends without worrying about wet clothes.
Family Warmth: Songkran Day is a day of relatives. Children will feel warm to be together with their eyes and receive the compassion and attention of adults through the ceremony of diving and blessing.
Joining Happiness: Whether it's going to the temple for merit, taking a bath, or building a sand pagoda, these activities bring pride and satisfaction to children.
Views that change over time: As they grow up, the excitement of dabbling may diminish, but a good childhood memory is often what makes them relive and feel happy every time they think of an old atmosphere.
"Memory" in children's eyes is a combination of senses, smells and a sense of security. Imagine this:
A Cool Touch and an Inflatable Dough Smell: Children's Memories Often Start with the Smell of Thai Baked Water Floating and Touching the Nose, Mixed with a Cool Feeling When Small Hands Touch the Water in a Bowl with Jasmine Petals Floating, It's the Cold That Comes with Thunts, Not Cold.
Laughter louder than any day: In children's memory, Songkran Day is a day of unique "sound," the sound of fun music on the front of the house, the shouting of friends, and the loud laughter at the time of spraying water on the target. It is a time when the whole world seems to be kind.
The feeling of being a little "hero": having the biggest water gun in the group, or standing behind a pickup truck and splashing water on a passing person. For a child, that's the excitement of an adventure, a little heroism that can be told to a friend for months.
Warm Adult Hands: The conspicuous memory is that when you cradle a watering hand on the palm of the adult and gently rub your head with the greeting "Be a good boy," it makes the child feel that he is loved and important to the family.
Exclusive Meals: Memories are often imparted with the taste of grandmother or grandmother's food, where the relatives come to eat together on a large mat, the most delicious meal because of the tiredness of dabbling all day.
These memories are usually stored in the deepest drawers of the heart and are always dusted to smile as we grow up.
The atmosphere around the children's memories of Songkran. The images in the head are like colorful, flashy and full of life. Let's take these elements and describe them:
Sunshine and water droplets: The child's memory is that the April sunshine is so hot that the streets are vaporized, but it is interrupted by a "water curtain" that splashes against the sun until it forms a small water pan, flashing back and forth with the force of the shake.
Fun Parade on the Road: The atmosphere around it is a happy chaos, a pickup truck carrying a giant bucket of water with children standing on the edge of the pickup like a battle, the loud music coming from each front speaker competing to become a never-ending "splash" musical.
A unique vibe: It is a combination of a wet asphalt street smell, an inflatable dough smell that smears white to the face and clothes, and a faint Thai baked water smell that floats from a nearby village or temple.
Small battlegrounds: Every front of the house will turn into a "detention checkpoint," a long hose coming out, spraying water at passers-by, the sound of slippers trampling on the streets of Zheng with slippery water, and the sound of "feisty!" of water hitting the body again and again.
Warm Little Details: The image of an adult elder sitting smiling on a wooden chair in front of a house, in a jasmine floating water mobile, sprinkling water at a passing offspring, is a contrast between the prank of a child and the benevolent calmness of an adult.
This atmosphere is "paradise," in the idea of a child with no stress, only the wetness that comes with a smile.
