Remember When ? All the girls had ugly gym uniforms? It took five minutes for the TV to warm up? Nearly everyone's Mom was at home when the kids got home from school? Nobody owned a purebred dog? Grade school was called elementary & middle school was called Junior High? A quarter was a decent allowance? There were no microwaves? Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces? All your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done weekly and wore high heels? You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped? Without asking, all for free & every time? And you got a smile to boot? Laundry detergent had free hidden inside the box? You could dial, 853-*%@# to hear the time? It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents? They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed. . . and they did it?
People went steady? No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked? Lying on your back in the grass with your friends? and saying things like, 'That cloud looks like a... '? Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game? Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger? Being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited you at home? You had to hang your clothes on a line to dry? We were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-shootings,drugs,gangs etc..

As well as summers filled with, bike rides, going to camp, Snow Cones, lemonade stands, baseball games, Slip N Slide, Hula Hoops, slumber parties, swimming & Marco Polo, drinking Kool-Aid, running through sprinklers, waiting & listening for the ice cream truck to come down your street? Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, 'Yeah, I remember that'? And with all our progress, don't you just wish just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with your children today. I am sharing this with you today because it ended with a double dog dare to pass it on. To remember what a double dog dare read on.

Remember when the perfect age is somewhere between old enough to know better and too young to care? Remember, Nancy Drew & the Hardy Boys, That Girl, Hazel, Room 222, The Bugaloo's, Howdy Doody and the Peanut Gallery, The Lone Ranger, Romper Room, Wonderama, Roy and Dale, Sigmund & the Sea Monster & The New Zoo Review?
How many of these do you remember? Candy cigarettes. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside.Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles. Will Wrights. Coffee shops with table side jukeboxes. Chicklets & Teaberry chewing gum. Candy buttons on paper. The Troph at Farrels. Candy Necklaces & Jaw Breakers. Tiddely Winks. Home milk delivery in glass bottles. Newsreels before the movie. P.S.A's. Telephone numbers with a word prefix...(Raymond 4-601). Or party lines. Peashooters. Hi-Fi's & 45 & 78 RPM records! Blue Chip Stamps. K H J Radio station. Mimeograph paper. Light Bright. 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 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 cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. Taking drugs meant orange - flavored chewable aspirin? Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. You only had a half an hour of homework a night?
