Remember when...? — Page 3

Road trips!

We'd play 'I Spy With My Little Eye...'

And, we'd also have the license plate game. Anything to pass the time.

Not to mention sing-a-longs! (Although I still do that!)

Yes calvin! I remember that.
we said "met her at the door, with a loaded 44"...but ya know.


Also,
On top of old smokey
all covered with blood
I shot my poor teacher
with a 44 stud
and 50 years later
she came back from the dead
i took a bazooka
and shot off her head.

ahh..good times.

I LOVED the 'clapping' games!

Miss Lucy had a tugboat. The tugboat had a bell.
Miss Lucy went to heaven. The tugboat went to
Hello, operator. Please give me number nine.
If you disconnect me, I'll kick you in the
Behind the refrigerator, there was a piece of glass.
Miss Lucy fell upon it, and broke her little
Ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies.
Miss Lucy told me all of this right before she died, died, died.

and we all know the:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag

Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall,
Ninety-nine bottles of beeeer..
Take one down and pass it around,
Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall."

Most of us on this thread are way too old to have sung a song about Barney, Kasie. Our children, on the other hand...

when someone walking through the living room jingling their keys could change the TV channel.

Oh, it was sad, so sad;
It was sad when the great ship went down, to the bottom of the ...
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives,
It was sad when that great ship went down.


I still can't believe we sang that like it was London Bridge or something. Callous youth!

Those and pick up sticks!

One word: POGS

Kasie, our "Barney" thing was:

I love you
You love me
Homosexuality
People say that we are just friends
But we're really lesbians

It worked better sung by a woman. Barney was emerging about the time I was in high school.

How did we survive?
How?

I remember when it was safe to allow kids to go outside and be kids. Like parents didn't think twice before letting their kids out in the yard to play or even let them run around the neighborhood. I'm only 23, but I cannot believe how people are so worried today about life. People are too concerned with lawsuits or child molestors.

When I was 3 or 4, I had a fenced in backyard, with people living on the other side of the fence who had children. We didn't know them at all, but my sister and I ended up meeting one of the kids by the fence on day, and we just talked to each other and hung out that way. I know, strange, but it worked. LOL! We never invited each other over to one another's houses.

But anyway, there were so many things I remember doing back in the late 1980s to early 1990s, that people would question being safe today.
