Before the MySpace AND bebo frenzy. Before the Internet & text messaging. Before mp3's & iPods. Before Paris Hilton. Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX. Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night. WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOL. When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs. When we recorded stuff on VCRs and taped songs off the radio on a sunday. When you would do rolley polleys all over the field at playtime When crash bandicoot was the best game When wearing summer dresses and shorts to school in the summer made you wake up with a smile. When the playtimes during summer seemed to last for ages. Way back, when you played skipping. When spice girls were KOOL When POGS ruled Hide-n-Seek after school till it got dark. Hopskotch. Hula Hoops. Reading R.L. Stine's Goose Bumps. The annoying Nano Pets & Furbies. Running through the sprinklers. The first TAMAGOCHI's and Yo-Yo's... Pokemon! Need I say more!?!?! Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King. Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car. getting the privilege to sit in the front seat of the car. AND those little Milk cartoons, with a straw Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's still wrapped up in your duvet Live n' Kicking...remember that? Hey Arnold, X-Men Doug, Rugrats, CatDog The original Power Rangers Or what about: The Secret Life of Alex Mac. Ren & Stimpy. Rocko's Modern Life. AAAHH!! REAL MONSTERS. Clarissa Explains it All. Are You Afraid of the Dark? Kenan & Kel. magic school bus. pinky and the brain. blossom. hangin with mr.cooper. the adventures of winnie the pooh. Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school. Class trips. Like LEGOLAND! When Christmas was the most exciting time of year. When 5 pounds seemed like a million. When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday. When Toys R Us ruled. Go back to the time when decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe' Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!' and 'make up make up never ever break up' 'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'. It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends. Being old referred to anyone over 20. Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better. It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair. When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever. When Ninja Turtles ruled the world. When sweets from ALLDAYS was the highlight of your day. Hometime was the best part of the day. When the only thing you cried over was your mum being late to pick you up. When stress was addition and subtraction. When friendships were as complicated as who's house to sleep over. When shaving cream was just meant for play. Remember when someone "Got the lergies" and you had to cross your fingers you didn't get infected. When valentines day meant cards for all. When birthdays were a class event. When a friend moving away was the saddest day of your life. |
