I would love to be a KID again!!! Wouldn't you???

It was normal to have two or three "best" friends.
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.
Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.
The worst thing you could catch from the another friend was cooties
Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot.

**Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
**"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
**Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly."
**Being old referred to anyone over 20.
**It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.
**It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event.
**Nobody was prettier than Mom.
**Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.
"Ring-a-Ring-o'-Roses" made perfect sense.
**Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare."
**Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute ads for action figures.
**Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
**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.
