Remember?
Hide-and-Go Seek
The ice cream man
Red light, Green light
Chocolate milk
Penny candy
Hopscotch
Double Dutch
Jacks
Kick Ball
Dodge Ball
Mother May I?
Hula Hoops
Sunflower Seeds
Jolly Ranchers
Blow Pops
Mary Janes
Grape and Watermelon Now-Laters
Alexander the Grape
Lemonheads
When nobody owned a purebred dog.
When a quarter was a decent allowance, and another quarter a huge bonus.
When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.
When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside
the box.
Running through the sprinkler
Catching lightening bugs in a jar
Sling shots
Bedtime
Climbing trees
A million mosquito bites
Sticky fingers
Cops and Robbers
Cowboys and Indians
Jumping down the steps
Jumping on the bed
Being tickled
Running until you were out of breath
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt
Being tired from playing
When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up.
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then.
When you wore nylons that came in two pieces.
When all of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had
their hair done, everyday.
