Stole Idea from my cousin......

Before the Internet or Text messaging.

Before the shots and joints.

Before Sidekicks & Ipods & psp.

Before Playstation2 or X-BOX.

Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our WALKMANS!!!

Tag or better yet FREEZE Tag.

I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk!

Red light, Green light! 1,2,3!

Heads up 7 up!

Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.

Hopskotch!

Mother May I?

Hula Hoops.

Running through the sprinkler.

Happy Meals where u chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.

Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car.

Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons.

& Price is Right.

Hey Arnold and Doug, RUGRATS!

Gullah Gullah Island

The Big Comfee Couch

Who could forget Snick?!

Nick at Nite! with Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, Happy Days, facts of life & I LOVE LUCY!!!

& every1 wanted to be in love after watching THE WONDER YEARS!

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer.

Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes.

Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.

Class Field Trips.

When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year!

When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.

When getting high was swinging on the swingset.

When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.

When you begged to go to McDonalds, for dinner...EVERYDAY.

When Toys r Us overuled the mall.

nobody had cable & people watched THE BOX on channel 25, called & paid to watch music videos!!!!

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"

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

Being old, referred to anyone over 20.

The chance to couple skate at Skate City was like winning the lottery.

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.

It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the fair.

remember the spice girls and wanting to be like them? (we were the spice girls) lol

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!

Pass it on if you remember the good old days, these days when you had a blast being a kid.
