Before the MySpace/Livejournal/Facebook frenzy.
Before the Internet & text messaging.
Before mp3's & iPods.
Before Paris Hilton
Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX.
Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night.
WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOL
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
When we recorded stuff on VCRs
and taped songs off the radio on a sunday
When you would do rolley polleys all over the feild at playtime
when wearing summer dresses and shorts to school in the summer made you wake up with a smile
when the playtimes during summer seemed to last for ages
Way back.
when you played skipping
when all the spice girl photos were banned from school
when POGS were the shit
IT
Hide-n- Seek after school till it got dark
Hopskotch.
Tree Houses.
Hula Hoops.
Reading R.L. Stine's Goose Bumps.
The annoying Nano Pets & Furbies.
Running through the sprinklers.
Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King.
Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.
Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car.
drinking umbun-go
Wait.
Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's still wrapped up in your duvet
Hey Arnold, Doug, Rugrats, CatDog.
The original Power Rangers
Or what about:
The Secret Life of Alex Mac.
Ren & Stimpy.
Rocko's Modern Life.
AAAHH!! REAL MONSTERS.
Clarissa Explains it All.
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Kenan & Kel.
doug.
magic school bus.
pinky and the brain.
blossom.
hangin with mr.copper.
the busy world of richard scary.
the adventures of winnie the pooh.
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.
Class trips.
When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.
When 5 pounds seemed like a million
When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.
When Toys R Us ruled
Go back to the time when.
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!' and 'make up make up never ever break up'
'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'.
It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.
Being old referred to anyone over 20.
Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.
It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.
When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When TEENAGE MUTANT HERO TURTLES ruled the world
When sweets from ALLDAYS was the highlight of your day.
hometime was the best part of the day
When the only thing you cried over was your mum being late to pick you up.
When stress was addition and subtraction.
When friendships were as complicated as who's house to sleep over
When shaving cream was just meant for play.
When a first kiss only lead to cooties.
When valentines day meant cards for all.
When birthdays were a class event.
When a friend moving away was the saddest day of your life.
who would have thought youd miss the 90's so much.
