Before the MySpace frenzy.

Before the Internet & text messaging.

Before Mp3's and iPods.

Before girls ever wore boy pants.

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX.

Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night.

When light up sneakers and jelly-shoes were cool

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.

When we called the radio station to request songs

POGS

When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.

When 5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.

When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.

When Toys R Us overuled the shopping centre.

When staying out late was 8:30

Go back to the time when

Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'

'Race issue' ment 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 a chocolate bar at the grocery store was the highlight of your day.

When the only thing you cried over was your mom being late to pick you up.

When stress was addition and subtraction.

When friendships were as complicated as who's house to sleep over and who's to TP

When shaving cream was just meant for play.

When a first kiss only lead to cooties.

When valentines day meant cards for all.

When birthdays were a class event.
