Can  You Remember When.................

Close your eyes.....And go back in time....

Before the Internet or the MAC, Before semi

automatics and crack

Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...

Way back........

I'm talking about hide and seek at dusk.

The Good Humor man,  Red light, green light.   The corner store.

 Hopscotch, butterscotch, doubledutch, jacks, kickball, dodgeball.

Mother May I? Red Rover and Roly Poly. Hula Hoops.

Running through the sprinkler.

The smell of the sun and licking salty lips....

Wax lips and mustaches.

An ice cream cone on a warm summer night.

Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe butter pecan.

A cherry coke from the fountain at the corner drug store.

Wait......

 Watching Saturday Morning cartoons...short

commercials, Fat Albert, Road Runner, He-Man, The

Three Stooges, and Bugs,

Or staying up for Gunsmoke Or back further, listening

to Superman  on the radio.

 When around the corner seemed far away,

And going downtown seemed like going somewhere.

A million mosquito bites.  Sticky fingers.

Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, Zorro.

Climbing trees, Building igloos out of snow banks.

Walking to school, no matter what the weather.

Running till you were out of breath.

Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt.

Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights.

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.

Being tired from playing.... Remember that?

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.

 I'm not finished just yet...

 Eating Kool-aid powder.

  Remember when...there were two types of sneakers for  girls and boys

 (Keds & PF Flyers) and the only time you wore them  at school, was for "gym."

 It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

 When nobody owned a purebred dog.

 When a quarter was a decent allowance, and another quarter a miracle.

 When milk went up one cent and everyone talked about  it for weeks?

 When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.

When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked,  and gas pumped,

without asking, for free, every time. And, you

didn't pay for air.  And, you got trading stamps to boot!

When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or  towels hidden inside 
the box.

 When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.

 When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up, if  you even had one.

When your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces.

It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.

 When it was considered a great privilege to be taken  out to dinner

at a real restaurant with your parents.

When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high  school, if then.

  When all of your male teachers wore neckties and  female teachers had

Hey Old Schoolers
