"I Want To Be A Kid Again" I want to go back to the time when: ... 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 best protectors. |
