I miss those days.
When boys had
'cooties'. When girls wanted to be princesses
when they grew up. When the TV shows that kids used to
love were Barney&Friends and the Rugrats, not Jersey Shore
and 16 And Pregnant. When the biggest drama in our lives
was when someone stole our crayons. I miss the old
Disney movies. The Lion King. Cinderella.
Snow White. Aladdin. Sleeping
Beauty. Peter Pan. Winnie the Pooh. The
Jungle Book. 101 Dalmatians. Pinocchio.
Pocahontas. Bambi. Dumbo. Alice
in Wonderland. The Aristocats. I miss when the
girls had Tamagotchi, Barbie dolls and skipping ropes & the
boys had Action Men, toy cars and wrestling figures instead of
phones, laptops and iPods. I miss when everything was
settled with 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' and 'Eeny,
meeny, miny, mo'. I miss playing Hopscotch and
clapping games with my friends. When PlayDough was the
coolest thing ever. The original Pokémon with
Ash, Misty and Brock. The old Yu-Gi-Oh.
"Talk to the hand, 'cause the face ain't
listening". When everyone wore light-up
sneakers. When we had video tapes, not DVDs.
When it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday
morning, just to watch cartoons. When the coolest toy we
had was a yo-yo.
Yeah, I miss those days.
But it's the 21st century now, and the world has moved
on.
We can't go back to what it used to be. </3
