I know that you've probably seen this before but I thought that it could be shared again!!
Ahhh... To Be A Kid Again
I want to be a kid again.
I want 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 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 unbeleivable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event.
Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot.
Nobody was prettier
then 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."
Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30 minute ads for action figures.
No shopping trip was complete unless a new toy was brought home.
"
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
War was a car 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 !!!!!
