Do you remember a 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?
[]

Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening?


[]
It wasn't odd to have two or three "Best Friends"?
[]

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was "cooties"?
[]

Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot?
[]


Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures?
[]
"Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense?

Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team?

War was a card game?
[]
Baseball c ards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle?

Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin?
[]
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?
[]
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived!!!!!!!

A few years later in the 60's but nonetheless.......
