Those Were The Days

Oh how I wish I could go back to my childhood again. Life was so much simpler back then. We could go outside in the Summer and stay until Mom hollered at us to come in at night. We walked the street barefooted on 103 degree ashpalt and then cooled our burning feet in the grass. We played out in the waterhose with a Water Wiggle on the end. We played kickball in the street under the streetlights. We camped outside in the yard, never worrying about someone kidnapping us. My Uncle Wes and his friends and i used to play Army in the Dark. I can still hear our "machine guns" going d-d-d-d-dow! Rode our skateboards and bicycles down a very steep hill at the end of the street. Remember having "Klackers" bruises in various places on your body? Boy that was fun...sort of..., lol. Or making Mud Pies, and eating the big purple ants on your popsicle at least once in your life? Oh those were the days my friends..thought they would never end...
