Sometimes I want to be a kid again. I want to go back to the time when:
- decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-mo'
- money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in Monopoly
- being old referred to anyone over 20
- the worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties
- Dad could perform magic by 'removing' his thumb or taking my nose off my face
- having a weapon in school meant being caught with a shanghai (sling-shot)
- nobody was prettier than Mum.
- Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute ads for action figures
- spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles
- water balloons were the ultimate weapon
- cards in the spokes transformed a pushbike into a motorcycle
- mistakes were corrected by simply saying, 'Do it again!'
- older siblings were your worst tormentors but also your fiercest protectors
- scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better
