Unit 680. I played in the sandbox as a kid.

One of my very earliest memories from childhood was playing in the backyard sandbox with one of my best friends.

English On The Go

I have a ton of childhood memories.

I feel extremely fortunate because in our neighborhood where I grew up,

just two houses down one of my best friends also grew up,

------------------

and he is only two months older than me to the day.

So because we were virtually the same age and had many of the same interests, we spent a lot of time together.

And one of my very earliest memories from my childhood was spending time with him in the backyard sandbox.

------------------

Do you know what a sandbox is?

I don't know if they have them in Korea, but we do have them in the United States.

Children still have them. You can buy them now.

------------------

They're made of plastic, but I think the one that we played in growing up was made from my father out of wood.

It was just a square box, and then you buy sand, very much similar to sand at the beach, pour it into the box.

And then you play around like you're at the beach, except for it's located in your backyard.
