"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.
