Any One Remember What It Was Like... ...
Before the Internet or the AIM
Before You Had Ever Heard Of semi automatics and weed
Before playstation2 or X-bOX, When You Could ONLY MOVE LEFT or RIGHT on the Screen!!!
Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...
Before You Got Your Heart Broken
Way back...
I'm talkin' bout "HIDE and GO SEEK" at dusk.
Red light, Green light.
Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.
Mother May I?
Red Rover
Four square, No Double Bounces, No Finger Tips PALMS ONLY!!
Hula Hoops & Skip Its
Running through the sprinkler
Drinking out Of The Hose When You were Thirsty and Not Being Judged About Doing It ... or Worried about Diseases!!
Happy Meals... Better Yet ... The Happy Meal TOYS!!!
Getting the privilege to sit in the front seat of the car
Wait...
Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons
Remember Doug and all the cast of 'One Saturday Morning'
Or what about legends of the hidden temple, global guts, double dare, Wild and Crazy Kids, ARE YOU AFFRAID OF THE DARK!?! Or Eureka's Castle, Alegra's Window, Under The Umbrella Tree, HeathCliff, or David The Gnome!!!!
Who could forget Snick???
Or the teenage mutant ninja turtles,and Power Rangers, Before They Became The Mighty Morphin European Space Turbo NInja Rangers
Christmas morning... Or Better Yet ... Christmas Eve... and Trying to sleep that night!!!
Your first day of school
Bedtime Prayers (Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray The Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray The Lord my soul to take) and Goodnight Kisses
Climbing trees And being too Afraid to climb back down!!
Getting an ice cream off the ice cream truck
A MILLION mosquito bites and Sticky fingers
Jumpin' down the steps .... and Sliding Down Them In Your Sleeping Bag!!
Jumpin' on the bed
Pillow fights
Runnin' till you were out of breath
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt and you almost peed your pants
Being tired from playing all day
Your first crush...
Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7-Up"or "slient ball" in the classroom
Remember that?
I'm not finished yet...
Kool-Aid and Squeeze-its were the drinks of the summer
Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes Meant You Were Their Hero!!!
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school, and Trading Them in the Middle of the Day With Your Best Friend
Class Field Trips ... where THE BOYS wanted to sit on the opposite side of the bus from the girls and THE GIRLS were perfectly FINE with it!!
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When getting high was swinging on the swing set
When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.
When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool.
When Toys r Us overruled the "mall"
I want to go back to the time when...
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe" (or "bubble gum, bubble gum")
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "DO OVER!!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"
Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was COOTIES.
Nobody was prettier than Mom
Nobody was cooler than Dad
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park.
Getting an inch of snow was a dream come true.
You were The Coolest kid on The Block if You had The Neighborhood Slip 'N' Slide!!!
Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare"
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. And done at Random ... Just Because You Felt Like It!!!
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!
Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown up" life...
I double dog dare you
