When we were younger:
Before the MySpace frenzy...
Before the Internet & text messaging...

Before MIKE JONES...
Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...
...Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.
When light up sneakers were cool.
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

Kool-Aid was the drink of choice.
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.
Class field trips.
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 mall.
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.
A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning
the lottery.
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.
Another Baby Sitter Club and Little Sister (Karen) book came out and
you put your name on hold for it at the library.
When Aladdin was new, before the trilogy was complete.
Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

It's scary how many of these are actually true.

This had more examples than the other one.
I totally did the whole Babysitters Club/Little sister book craze.
And Face was for younger kids. And all those shows. Our Nick Jr. was Eureeka's Castle, The Elephant Show, Fred, Adventures of the Little Koala, Maya the Bee, Maple Town, etc.
Is it bad that I still consider it a privilege to sit in the front?

"Why don't you marry it?"
OMG I remember the exact day that phrase entered my vocabulary...it was on Peewee's Playhouse and Peewee was talking about how much he LOVED fruit salad, and the kids he was with kept going "so why don't you MARRY it, Peewee?" and he DID. He out a veil over the bowl of fruit salad and they had a wedding. I was changed forever

Posted: 5/7/06 at 4:56pmIf nothing else how much better were children's TV/TV in general, and Disney movies? That's partially why those times were better.

Posted: 5/7/06 at 9:00pmthere were so many that my sister and i just couldn't stop laughing about... especially how the most exciting thing about the 1st day of school was wearing new sneakers and we'd get yelled at if we tried wearing them before that... and how we cleared out when it was "couple's skate"... when Toys R Us WAS the place to be... miss those days!

Ok, I agreed with almost all of that but had to add in one thing because otherwise I'd comment on the whole freakin' list.
Kool-Aid is still the drink of choice. That and gatorade are the only drinks you will find in my tiny little fridge. It has no faults except for giving me a weird-colored tongue at inopportune times since it is the only thing I have.
