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.
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.
Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot.
Nobody was prettier than your mother.
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.
No shopping trip was complete, unless a new toy was brought home.
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 weapon.
Baseball cards in the bicycle 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 their "grown up" life!!!!!
