Remember ...

Remember what is felt like to:

Skip rocks across a pond

Turn on the radio or TV and listen or watch something together

Build a fort or tree house

Spin a top or play jacks

Play a Board games for the fun of it

Play red light,green light

RIDE a bike ... not to catch air but to FEEL it on your face

Have a water balloon fight

Buy candy that wasn't a dollar
(penny/five cent candy for those of you that don't know)

Watch cartoons on a Saturday morning ... BEFORE you went OUTSIDE to play

Go to the park just to get on the swings

Take a Sunday FAMILY drive

Put bugs in a jar...for the hell of it

Try and get home before the street light came on

Open a Fire hydrant and everyone on the block got wet

Play basketball with a ball that needed just a little more air
Or baseball with just one bat,one ball...anywhere

Play football till someone got hurt...then you just picked another person

Go to the movies on Sunday and stay ... all day

Play cowboys & Indians or Army and "bang your dead" was the worse that could happen

Spend the night over a friends house

Sit on your porch/steps/stoop after 10 pm doing nothing more than talking and thinking THAT was kool

Play in the snow till your finger tip where numb

Be HAPPY when it snowed

Take a lunch to school knowing someone would want to trade

Use a rock if you didn't have chalk to make an outline for hop-scotch

Need clothes line, two friends or one pole & one friend for double-dutch


Nothing to plug in, No back-up batteries needed
No 4G, smartphone, tablet,nook, netbook, IPAD, data card, wi-fi, x-box or anything other than having a great imagination

Fantasy football was YOU trying to PLAY like the STARS

Bringing back what you can; a generation is in need of saving!
