I Wish I Could Go Back to the Time...

* 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 magic when dad would "remove" his thumb. * It was unbelievable that dodge ball wasn't an Olympic event. * Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot. * Nobody was prettier than 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. * "Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense. * Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. * The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. * War was a card 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!!!!
