Rose Tinted Glasses

There are two ways we can look back to the things we loved as a child; one is to say "Oh, that toy/game/tv series/film is brilliant. I grew up with it". The other way is to say "I can't believe I actually used to like that". Different people will have a different proportion of these two views, but I find that there is very little in my childhood that I am ashamed of watching. The only one that comes to my head is Beyblade (seriously, what was I thinking?) Revisiting the things from our childhood can give us a new appreciation for them, as we realise it's just as good as ever, or it can make us feel silly for ever liking it. I find that I still love a lot of things from my childhood, because they were actually really good. I suppose it all comes down to whether or not we are willing to remove the nostalgia goggles and revisist something we once loved.
