| | Think back...
Before the Internet or AIM Before semi automatics and weed Before playstation2 or X-BOX Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night... Before being stressed everyday Think Way back...
I'm talking bout hide and go seek at dusk. Red light, Green light.
Playing kickball & dodge ball until your porch light came on. Mother May I? Red Rover four square Hula Hoops Running through the sprinkler Happy Meals Getting the privilege to sit in the front seat of the car
Wait...
Watching Saturday Morning cartoons Like Rocko's Modern Life and Doug Or what about legends of the hidden temple, global guts, double dare, and who, ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK! Who could forget Snick Or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby Doo, 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 Jumping down the steps Jumping on the bed Pillow fights Running till you were out of breath Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt and you almost peed your pants Laughing so hard that you did pee your pants Being tired from playing all day Your first crush... Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7-Up" 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 or spokes 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 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" 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. Saying cuss words were referred to the "F, B or S - word" or h-e double hockey sticks. Being old, referred to anyone over 20. The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties. The only real heart break you had was when your mom wouldn't buy you that new toy 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!!!
I double dog dare you
