Since this is a day for giving thanks here in the U.S., I thought this might 
be of interest to all.

Take a break and think back to when ...... 
 
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.  (and STILL is 
as far as I am concerned!!) 

Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the 
fiercest protectors. 

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have 
LIVED!!!! 

Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their 
"grown up" life- 

I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
