this is the truth
Close your eyes...And go back...
Before you were in the LJ or the Cellys
Before semi automatics and crack
Before fifths and Swisher Sweets
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.
Hula Hoops
Running through the sprinkler
Happy Meals
Wait...
Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons
or what about legends of the hidden temple, global guts, double dare, ARE YOU AFFRAID OF THE DARK!
Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages, G-Force & He-Man Wonder Woman
Christmas morning...
Your first day of school
Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses
Getting tucked in by mamas and papas
Climbing trees
Getting an ice cream off the ice cream truck
A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers
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??
damn i miss that....
I'm not finished yet...
Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer-winter-spring AND fall
Class Field Trips
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 your parents took you to McDonalds and you thought you were so cool.
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 shooting , drugs, gangs, etc.
Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! And some of us are still afraid of em!
Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, "Yeah, I remember that!"
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!"
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"
Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening - instead of kickin it on the block, sippin on 40z
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. now you have none, just hella homies huh?
Being old, referred to anyone over 20, now your 20 and your coo with a car.
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties. Not herpes, not a bad reputation or a broken heart,
Nobody was prettier than Mom. Now pretty is in the magaizines and on that bitches face that you got jelous of and chunked em.
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. No hopin fences to get ahead of your enimies.
Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. Now getting your foot in the door, makin money is the shiit you need.
Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare". not seein how tuff you are while your gettin jumped into... you kno
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. Now we drink to get tipsy....
the worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon. We didnt know about the AK 47s
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.
yes you.
so dooooo it.
now.......
repost if u feel the same way
