TweetGo Back

Close your eyes....And go back....

Before the Internet or the MAC

Before semi automatics and crack

Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...

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.

Wait......

Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons.

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.

Being tired from playin'....

Your first crush......

Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7Up" in the classroom.

Remember that?

I'm not finished yet....

Kool-aid was the drink of summer.

Toting your friends on your handle bars.

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 any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry

groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.

When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that

awaited a misbehaving student at home.

Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive by

shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!

And some of us are still afraid of em!!!

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 worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.

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".

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 some or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!!

pass this on to some-one you think needs a break from being a "grown-up"...
go on..i double dare ya!

TweetI read that and often think, what are kids doing today, or what their list will look like in 20-30 years.

I grew up in towns of around 10k, and I'd get up at 6 am, be out the door at 7 am, home for dinner and then back out again. Ran, and bicycled like the wind. Played every sport depending on the season, fished and camped, and thought I'd gone to heaven first time played spin the bottle in friends garage.

Oh well. The parties over, lol
