Thanks to Chris for sending this to me
You know, there should be frames...that is if your browser can take it
Let's go back.......
Close your eyes.....And go back........
Before the Internet or the MAC,
Before semi automatics and crack
Before chronic and indo
Before SEGA or Super Nintendo
Way back........
I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk.
Sittin' on the porch,
Hot bread and butter.
The ice cream man,
Eatin' a 'super dooper sandwich',
Red light, Green light.
Chocolate milk, Lunch tickets,
Penny candy in a brown paper bag.
Playin' Pac-man in the corner store.
Hopscotch, butterscotch, doubledutch
Jacks, kickball, dodgeball, y'all!
Mother May I?
Hula Hoops and Sunflower Seeds,
Jolly Ranchers, blowpops, Mary Janes,
Grape and Watermelon Now-Laters (what about "Alexander the grape","lemonheads")
Running through the sprinkler (I can't get wet! All right, well don't wet my hair....)
The smell of the sun and lickin' salty lips....
Wait......
Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons,
Fat Albert, Road Runner, He-Man, The Three Stooges, and Bugs,
Catchin' lightening bugs in a jar,
Playin sling shot.
When around the corner seemed far away,
And going downtown seemed like going somewhere.
Bedtime, Climbing trees,
A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers,
Cops and Robbers,
Cowboys and Indians,
Sittin on the curb,
Jumpin down the steps,
Jumpin on the bed.
Pillow fights
Being tickled to death
Runnin till you were out of breath
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt
Being tired from playin'.... Remember that?
I ain't finished just yet...
Crowding around in a circle around the 'after school fight', then running when the teacher came.
What about the girl that had the big bubbly hand writing?? (Emily de la G.)
Eating Kool-aid powder with sugar
Didn't that feel good.. just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that!
There's nothing like the good old days! They were good then, and they're good now when we think about them.
Share some of these thoughts with a friend who can relate, then share it with someone that missed out on them.
One can't be serious ALL the time, eh?
Remember when...
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."
When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up.
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When nobody owned a purebred dog.
When a quarter was a decent allowance, and another quarter a huge bonus.
When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.
When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then.
When your mom wore nylons that came in two pieces.
When all of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done, everyday.
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! (My mom even got dishes. They're now my good china.)
When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box.
When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents.
When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed ... and did!
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.
Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!
Let's go back.......

(WHY DID THE FIRST 3 LINES RHYME AND THEN ONLY 2?)
Way back........
I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk.
Sittin' on the porch, (SEXING)I ain't finished just yet...(DAMN IT!)
Crowding around in a circle around the 'after school fight', then running when the teacher came. (TO FUCK THEM)
What about the girl that had the big *BOOBY* hand writing?? (Emily de la *GARBAGE*.)
Eating Kool-aid powder with sugar
Didn't that feel good.. just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that! (NO, BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER THAT!)
There's nothing like the good old days! They were good then, and they're good now when we think about them. (UM, NO)
Share some of these thoughts with a friend who can relate, (DON'T HAVE ANY) then share it with someone that missed out on them. (UM LIKE ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN TO THE PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF STUFF?
One can't be serious ALL the time, eh? (YEAH, I THINK SO)
Remember when...
When there were two types of sneakers for girls and boys (Keds & PF Flyers), (NO, I DIDN'T EXIST YET!)
and the only time you wore them at school, was for "gym." (SO THE REST OF THE TIME YOU WENT AROUND BAREFOOT, HICKS!)
When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up. (SO YOU HAD TV AND VIDEO GAMES)
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When nobody owned a purebred dog. (YEAH OF COURSE THERE WERE PUREBREADS, WHY DO YOU THINK THERE ARE PUREBREADS TODAY?)
When a quarter was a decent allowance, and another quarter a huge bonus. (THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE)
When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. (WOULDN'T YOU STILL?, I MEAN JUST TO PAY OFF THAT STUPID $1.01 BILL!)
When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then. (NOPE, THEY JUST SEXED, DOGGIE STYLE, NO KISSING, AND IF IT WAS BY CHANCE IN THE LOCKER ROOM, WHAT DATE?)
When your mom wore nylons that came in two pieces. (SO LIKE REALLY THIN HIGH SOCKS, LIKE HOOKERS!)
When all of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done, everyday. (THAT'S A SURPRISE AFTER ALL THE SEXING THAT WENT OFF IN THE TEACHER'S LOUGE, MUCH LIKE TODAY)
When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, for free, every time. And, you didn't pay for air. (YEAH, BUT THAT WAS WHEN PEOPLE WERE STUPID AND THE ECONOMY WAS LOW)
And, you got trading stamps to boot! (My mom even got dishes. They're now my good china.)(HOLY SHIT, YOUR GOOD CHINA IS A COUPLE AOF FREE DISHES, HOW CHEAP ARE OUR PARENTS!)
When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box. (THEY JUST GAVE THIS STUFF AWAY!)
When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.(WELL NOW WE GOT RIGHTS, AND IF YOU VIOLATE THOSE RIGHTS WE'LL SUE, PUT YOU IN JAIL, AND WATCH YOU SCREAM AS YOU EXPERIENCE GAY AND LESBIAN SEX!)
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. (NOW IT{S CONSIDERED A GREAT TORTURE)
When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed ... and did! (YEAH, WELL GET WITH THE TIMES)
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. (IT STILL ISN'T, AND AT HOME A LOT OF PARENTS DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK AND OFFER DRUGS FOR BAD BEHAVIOR, SO IF THAT'S A BAD FATE, THEN YOUR RIGHT, BECAUSE IT MEANS HELL FOR THOSE THAT ACTUALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING IN LIFE AND WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HAVING ONE OF THOSE DICKHEADS TRYING TO KILL THEM, YEAH THAT'S A BAD FATE FOR THE GOOD GUYS)
Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. (I'M REALLY NOT SCARED OF THAT TODAY, I WONDER WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE YOUR MIXED UP WITH?) Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! (WHY, THEY FUCKED YOU TOO MUCH?)
