 I
want to go back to the time when.....
-
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly."
-
Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.
-
Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
-
Decisions were made by going"eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
-
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
-
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.
-
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-oomph-free" made perfect sense.
-
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 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!!!!
