Don'cha miss the good old days....
Before the Internet or the AIM Before semi automatics and crack Before SEGA or Super Nintendo Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...
Way back...
I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk. Red light, Green light. Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on. Mother May I? Red Rover Hula Hoops Running through the sprinkler Happy Meals Getting the privlage to sit in the front seat of the car
Wait...
Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons Or what about legends of the hidden temple, global guts, double dare, and who, ARE YOU AFFRAID OF THE DARK! Who could forget Snick Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages, G-Force & He-Man Wonder Woman & Scooby Doo Underoos Playing Dukes of Hazard Catchin' lightning bugs in a jar 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 Jumpin' down the steps Jumpin' on the bed Pillow fights Runnin' till you were out of breath Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt and you almost peed your pants Being tired from playin' 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 Leap frog was the game to play 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 a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a Miracle. When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool.
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. The biggest fight was who would sit next to who at lunch Being old, referred to anyone over 20. The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties. Nobody was prettier than Mom Nobody was cooler than Dad Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better Everything "broken" could be fixed with band-aids or duct tape 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. The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon. 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.

OMG..I am literally crying here. I remember all of this and more. The best times of life.
I hope to raise my children having them feel a lot of these "wonders" and then looking back like I just did and appreciating the "good ole days."
