Do you remember a time when...
1.Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"?
2.Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "Do
Over"?
3."Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest?
4.Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire
evening?
5.It wasn't odd to have two or three "Best Friends"?
6.The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex
was “cooties"?
7.Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a
slingshot?
8.A foot of snow was a dream come true?
9.Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute
commercials for action figures?
10."Oly-oly-in-free" made perfect sense?
11.Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was
cause for giggles?
12.The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a
team?
13.War was a card game?
14.Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike
into a motorcycle?
15.Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin?
16.Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?

And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just
once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower
pace, and share it with the children of today?

Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their
"grown-up" life. I double-dog-dare-ya!
