I
want to go back to the time when...
Decisions
were made by going
"eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
Mistakes
were corrected
by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
"Race
issue" meant arguing
about who ran the fastest
I
want to go back to the time when...
Decisions
were made by going
"eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
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
the 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
net on a tennis court was the perfect height
to play volleyball and rules didn't matter.
The
worst thing you could catch
from the opposite sex was cooties.
It
was magic when dad
would "remove" his thumb.
It
was unbelievable that dodgeball
wasn't an Olympic event.
Having
a weapon in school meant
being caught with a slingshot.
Nobody
was prettier than Mom.
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
a foot of snow
was a dream come true.
Abilities
were discovered because
of a "double-dog-dare."
Saturday
morning cartoons weren't
30-minute ads for action figures.
No
shopping trip was complete,
unless a new toy was brought home.
Oly-oly-oxen-free"
made perfect sense.
Spinning
around, getting dizzy and
falling down was cause for giggles.
The
worst embarrassment was being
picked last for a team.
War
was a card game.
Water
balloons were
the ultimate weapons.
Baseball
cards in the spokes transformed
any bike into a motorcycle.
Taking
drugs meant
orange-flavored chewable aspirin.
Ice
cream was considered
a basic food group.
Older
siblings were the worst tormentors,
but also the fiercest protectors.
If
you can remember most or all of these,
then you have LIVED!
Pass
this on to anyone who may need a break
from his or her "grown up" life.
