I got a similar one that was sent to me helps if you live in uk but i will put it on anyway:)
Go back in time............
Before the Internet or the Apple Mac...
Before semi-automatics, joyriders and crack....
Before Sony, SEGA or Super Nintendo...
Way back........
I'm talking about Hide and Seek in the park.
The corner shop
Hopscotch.
Butterscotch.
Skipping.
Handstands.
Football with a stone, an old Coke can or a football in desperate
need of pumping up.
Jumpers for goalposts
Swapping bikes
. Fingerbobs.
Beano, Dandy, Buster and Twinkle
Roly Poly.
Hula Hoops
Jumping the stream, building dams.
. The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass.
Bazooka Joe bubble gum.
. An ice cream cone on a warm summer night from the van that plays a
tune
Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe Neapolitan or perhaps a
screwball with the bubblegum at the bottom
When curly wurly's were as long as your arm and wagon wheels as big
as your face
Remember . . .
. Watching Saturday morning cartoons....short commercials,
. The Double Deckers, Road Runner, He-Man
Tiswas or Swapshop?, Banana Splits and Why Don't You? or staying up
for Doctor Who after Saturday tea
. When around the corner seemed far away and going into town seemed
like
going somewhere.
Earwigs, wasps, stinging nettles and bee stings.
. Sticky fingers.
. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, and 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?
When the second worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team
And the worst was having the opposing captains argue about who had
you
last time
Swapsies.
When water balloons were the ultimate weapon
Football cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a
motorcycle.
. Choppers and Grifters
I'm not finished just yet.....
Remember....
Eating raw jelly.
. Mr Freeze ice pops.
There were only three types of trainers - girls, boys, and Dunlop
Green Flash - and the only time you wore them at school was for P.E.
You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents.
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas eve.
When nobody owned a pure-breed dog.
When you still saw the occassional bit of white dog-crap
When 25p was decent pocket money and a 10p mixture would buy more
than two sweets
When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a shiny penny.
When nearly everyone's mum was at home when the kids got there.
. How 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 any parent could discipline any child, or feed him, or use him
to carry groceries and nobody, not even the child, thought a thing of it.
When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the
fate that awaited a misbehaving schoolchild at home
Remember when....
Decisions were made by going "Dip Dip Dog Shit "
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in Monopoly
48k seemed like an enormous amount of computer memory
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was germs.
And the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to someone of
the opposite sex. All day.
It was unbelievable that 'British Bulldog 123' wasn't an Olympic event.
Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a catapult.
Nobody was prettier than Mum.
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.
Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin.
Ice cream was considered a basic food group
Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. It used to snow
Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED.
