What is your favourite childhood memory?

I would say it's from the time I did my first drama on BTV, and they applied makeup on my face. I was so excited that I refused to shower for three days, so that the makeup would not wash away. I even walked around my neighbourhood and shared my experience with anyone who would listen.
