remember when we actually had real fun? It was everything you wish you could go back to and more.. Close your eyes...And go back... Before the Internet or the AIM Before semi automatics and crack Before SEGA or Super Nintendo... 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 Hula Hoops Running through the sprinkler Happy Meals Wait... Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons Felix the cat! or what about legends of the hidden temple, double dare, and Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?, and ARE YOU AFFRAID OF THE DARK! could forget Snick Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages, Wonder Woman & Scooby Doo Underoos 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 bug 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 Being tired from playin' Your first crush... Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7UP" in the classroom Remember that? I'm not finished yet... Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school Class Field Trips When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there. When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a Miracle. When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool. 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 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 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. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare" Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. i also remeber watching saved by the bell after school. The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon. Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors. If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!
