Simon says<\/p>\n
red light green light<\/p>\n
hand games<\/p>\n
bike riding and<\/p>\n
rollerskating<\/p>\n
honey flowers<\/p>\n
vacant houses<\/p>\n
double dutch<\/p>\n
jacks and marbles<\/p>\n
bolo bats<\/p>\n
and dance routines<\/p>\n
were how we spent our summers<\/p>\n
no road trips cause Mama was scared of doing things involving travel by herself<\/p>\n
we played until night<\/p>\n
we ate tv dinners<\/p>\n
tony pizzas<\/p>\n
chicken pot pies<\/p>\n
shared tv\u2019s<\/p>\n
watched tales from the crypt<\/p>\n
in living color<\/p>\n
married with children<\/p>\n
and 90210<\/p>\n
summers were long<\/p>\n
life seemed longer<\/p>\n
time seemed to spread like wings<\/p>\n
there was so much to do<\/p>\n
so much to see<\/p>\n
we were comfortable in being kids<\/p>\n
full of wonder<\/p>\n
we kept ourselves busy<\/p>\n
in fun<\/p>\n
