I don’t make promises I can’t fulfill, so when I say I’ll be there somehow, someway I will

Back Then
BACK WHEN... Go back...Before the Internet or the instant message...
Before semi automatics, booze and weed...
Before PS2 or X-box... Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...
Way back...
I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk. Red light, Green light. Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.
Mother May I? Red Rover. Four square (King's Court). What Time is it Mr.Wolf? Hula Hoops.
Running through the sprinkler. Happy Meals.
Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car Wait... Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons, Like Rugrats and Doug or what about legends of the hidden temple, global guts, double
dare, and ARE YOU AFFRAID OF THE DARK! Who could forget The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,and Power Rangers. Christmas morning...
Your first day of school. Bedtime Stories and Goodnight Kisses.
Climbing trees. Getting an ice cream off the ice cream truck.
A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers. Slidin' down the steps on your butt. Jumpin' on the bed.
Pillow fights. Runnin' till you were out of breath. Or laughing so hard that your stomach hurt and you almost peed your pants. Being tired from playin' all day...Your first crush... Rainy days at school meant playing "7-Up" in the classroom Remember that? I'm not finished yet... Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer. Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes. Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.
Class Field Trips when nearly everyone's mom was at school waiting when the kids got back.... When getting high was swinging on the swingset.
When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle. When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool. When Toys r Us overuled the "mall" I want to 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" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly". Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. Being old, referred to anyone over 20. The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
When nobody was prettier than Mom and nobody was cooler than Dad...
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park and getting an inch of snow was a dream come true. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare". Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!! Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown up" life... I double dog dare you...
AwWWWwwWWWw *SniFFFFFffff* so0o0o0o cute and I want to turn back time.
