| When WE were kids! I wanna go back to 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 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 unbelieveable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event. *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." *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 embarassment was being picked last for a team. *War was a card game. *Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. *Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. *Ice cream was considered a basic food group (and still is as far as I am concerned!) *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 their "grown up" life...I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!! |
