"Double
Dog Dare!"
From the
Internet
If you don't
remember this, you're too young anyway.
This is a time we can feel good about
remembering so much! I am sharing this
with you today because it ends with a
"double dog dare" to pass it on. Always
remember that the perfect age is somewhere
between old enough to know better and
young enough not to care.
How many do you
remember?

cigarettes.
2. Wax coke-shaped
bottles with colored sugar water
inside.

that dispensed glass bottles.

tableside juke boxes.
5. Blackjack, Clove
and Teaberry chewing gum.
6. Home milk
delivery in glass bottles, with cardboard
stoppers.

lines.

the movie.

Flyers.

wax.

candy.

gasoline.
AND A TIME WHEN . .
. .
Decisions were made
by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo." 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.
Having a weapon in
school meant being caught with a
slingshot.
A foot of snow was a
dream come true.
Saturday morning
cartoons weren't 30-minute ads 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.
Water balloons were
the ultimate weapon.
Baseball cards in
the spokes transformed any bike into a
motorcycle.
Taking drugs meant
orange-flavored chewable
aspirin.
If you can remember
most or all of these, then you have
lived!!!!
Pass this on to
anyone who may need a break from their
"grown up life. . . ."
I double dog dare
ya!
