i want to play 7-up*

Before the Internet or MSN
Before semi automatics and weed
Before playstation2 or X-BOX
Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...

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
Hula Hoops
Tether Ball
Fumble
Running through the sprinkler
Happy Meals

Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car

Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons
Like Hey Arnold and Doug
Or what about ghost writer,
where in the world is carmen sandiego,
double dare, and
ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK!

Teenage mutant ninja turtles, and Power Rangers,
Christmas morning...
Your first day of school
Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight
Kisses

Climbing trees
Getting an ice cream off the ice cream truck
A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers
Jumpin' down the steps
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 playin' all day
Your first crush...
Rainy days at school meant playing "7-Up" and Bingo
in the classroom

Remember that? =*))

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer
Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class Field Trips

When getting high was swinging on the swingset
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 overuled the "mall"

I want to go back to the time when...

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"
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.
Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare"
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!
