And I begged my mom to go to Mcdonalds


I remember being afraid that these guys were out to get me..






But also making up pretend games where they actually were :)

I remember waking up in the summers without responsibility.
I remember starting secret "eye spy" clubs and setting up lemonade stands with my best friends Tim, Scotty, Stephen , and Rachelle and Sky.
I also remember getting into fights with them one day, and the next day everything was okay again.
I remember my little brother being my worst enemy. But also my best friend.
I remember when a sleepover meant staying up all night eating candy and playing "truth or dare".
I remember when things were so much more simple.
When I didnt understand the lyrics to spice girls songs.
Before JTT came out of the closet.
When Britney Spears wasn't neccessarily "that innocent", but moreso than now.
When it seemed like being an adult was someone who was 16 years old.
I remember thinking 6th graders were sooo old.
When the worst thing that happened to me was that someone wouldnt let me join in the their game.
I remember not understanding things like death, politics, and religion.
I remember believing without question whatever an adult told me.
I remember my mom trying to get me to do my homework, and thinking it was some form of torture. Instead of understanding that it was actually important...

I remember wanting to grow up...

I miss it. And I regret trying to grow up so fast.
And sometimes I wish I could go back to that simple time when everything was just fun, games, laughing, being silly without worry.
Life is wonderful. I am so blessed. I am so happy. But sometimes, just for a day, I'd like to be a 90's kid again. What was your favorite thing to do as a kid?
