Remember This???

....Close your eyes.... And go back.... ....Before the Internet or PC or the MAC.... ....Before semi-automatics and crack.... ....Before Playstation, SEGA, Super Nintendo, even before Atari.... ....Before cell phones, CD's, DVD's, voicemail and e-mail.... ....way back.... ....way....way....way back.... I'm talkin' bout hide and seek at dusk Red light, Green light Red Rover - Red Rover Even Kick the Bucket REMEMBER.... Ring around the Rosie London Bridges Hot potato Hop Scotch Jump rope Duck....duck....GOOSE!!! YOU'RE IT!! Parents stood on the front porch and yelled (or whistled) for you to come home NO PAGERS OR CELL PHONES WHAT ABOUT.... Mother May I? Hula Hoops Seeing shapes in the clouds Endless summer days... ~and~ hot summer nights with the windows open The sound of crickets Running through the sprinkler Cereal boxes with that GREAT prize in the bottom.... Cracker Jacks with the same thing Ice pops with 2 sticks you could break and share with a friend ...but wait.....there's more.... Watchin' Sunday morning oldies (Abbott & Costello, Three Stooges) Wonder Woman & Super Man Underoos Catchin' lightning bugs in a jar Christmas morning Birthday parties Your first day of school Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses Climbing trees Swinging as high as you could to try and reach the sky Getting an Ice Cream off the Good Humor Truck A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers Jumpin' down the steps Jumpin' on the bed Pillow fights Sleep-overs Runnin' til you were out of breath Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt Tickling a friend til they swore they were gonna pee... Being tickled to you thought you would Being tired from PLAYING WORK: meant taking out the garbage or doing the dishes Your first crush. Your first kiss (the one you kept your mouth CLOSED and your eyes OPEN for) Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7UP" or "hangman" in the classroom.... Remember that? Oh, I'm not finished yet.... Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer.... So was a swig from the hose Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school Class Field Trips with soggy sandwiches and milk 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 you 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’! Doesn’t this feel good? To just go back and say, "Yeah, I remember that!" Well, let's keep going!! Let's go back to the time when... Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo" Catching 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. (CRAP! I'm officially old!) The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties Nobody was prettier than Mom Scrapes and bruises were kissed by mom or grandma and made better It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "BIG PEOPLES" rides 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 your worst tormentors.... But also your fiercest protector If you can remember most or all of these, then you’ve LIVED!!!
