I want to be a kid again!!!!!
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 your 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.
War was a card game. Water balloons
were the ultimate weapon.
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!!!!
