Voicemail - So,would you say that you remember any of these?

So,would you say that you remember any of these?

before the internet or computer,before semi auto's,crack cell phones,cd's,dvd's,voicemail and email,playing kickball and dodgeball,redlight/greenlight,hide and seek until the first....second.....no the third streetlight came on,bedtime prayers and goodnight kisses,climbing trees and swinging so high you could almost touch the sky,ice cream from the good humor truck,sticky fingers and a million mosquitoe bites.laughing so hard your stomach hurt.your first crush,ahhh your first kiss under the full moon of summer,a drink from the garden hose,giving friends a ride on your handle bars,new shoes,when a quarter was a fair allowance,being old was like 20,getting in trouble at school was nothing compared to the trouble you'd be in at home,triple dog dares,cuts and scrapes were always kissed by mom and miraculously got better.spinning around till you got dizzy and fell down,and water balloons were THE ultimate weapons,just a few thoughts,can you remember when life was easy???? **smiles**

Times have changed and not always for the better!! I wished I lived a simple life, a slower life!!! Kinda sad that I am a big girl now ; (
That sounds like my summers with my daughters.
There are some very good and comforting memories highlighted in those words. I guess that's why it's best to enjoy and value what we have today. Someday it will be a memory and hindsight does often seem so much clearer.
Yep! I remember. But you forgot to mention playing "Ghost, Ghost" before the street lights come on.
Ahhh, the good ole days! Quite a trip down memory lane. Thanks for that, it was fun/
lol i remember everything but thinking a quarter was a fair allowance...i got a dollar
I always remember those "good ole days". I am always thankful I grew up as a kid when I did way back then.

Well put! Uh, you forgot about the chocolate chip cookies and stuffed Turkey, and think that your poetic line has unrevealed itself, as ma mentioned (above), in this verse. I enjoyed reading it, for sure!
Yes,my memories aren't all gone,yet! LOL! But the one about getting in trouble in school! The punishment in school was much worse than at home! In my day,the principle made You lean your hands on his desk,then he took the paddle to your,arse!
