Growin' up in Oz...the good ol' days... i'm talking about Hide and Seek in the park.The corner milk bar,hopscotch,billy carts,cricket in front of the garbage bin,skipping,handstands,footy on the best lawn in the street,British bulldog1-2-3,slip'n'slide,the trampoline with water on it,hula hoops,pogo sticks,stepping in enormous puddles,mud pies and building dams in the gutter.The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass. Big bubbles no troubles with Hubba Bubba bubble gum,a choc top Mr Whippy cone on a warm summer night after you've chased him 'round the block.When 20 cents worth of mixed lollies was a meal and smoking Fags was really cool. Wait...watching Saturday morning cartoons..short commercials,the Thunderbirds(if you got up reeeally early)the Smurfs,Astro boy,He Man,Captain Caveman,Archie and heeeeey heeeeey heeeeey it's faaaaat albert.Or staying up late and sneaking a peek at the "AO" on the second telly. When around the corner seemed far away,and going into town seemed like going somewhere.A million mozzie bites,wasp and bee stings.Cops and Robbers,Cowboys and Indians,riding bikes and catching tadpoles.Marco Polo in the neighbours pool("fish outta water?!NOOOO"),drawing all over the road with chalk.Climbing trees and building a cubby out of every sheet your mum had in the cupboard.Walking to school,no matter what the weather. Running 'til you were out of breath.Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt.Jumping on the bed.Pillow fights.Spinning around,getting dizzy and falling down was cause for the giggles. Being tired from playing...remember thatThe worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.Water balloons were the ultimate weapons.Cricket/footy cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle....eating raw jelly and sucking on a Funny Face or chewin' on a Redskin. Remember when....there were only 2 types of sneakers-boys and girls,Dunlop Volleys with the green 'n' gold or blue and the only time you wore them at school was for "sports day".You knew everyone in your street-and so did your parents! It wasn't odd to have 2 or 3 "best" friends. You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas eve When nobody owned a pure-breed dog,when 50c was decent pocket money.When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for 10c.When nearly everyones mum was at home when the kids got home from school.When it was considered a great privalege to be taken out to dinner at the local Chinese restaurant with your parents. When any parent could discipline any kid,or feed him or use him to carry groceries and nobody,not even the kid,thought a thing of it. When being sent to the Principals office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically,we were in fear for our lives,but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings,drugs,gangs,etc.Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!Some of us are still afraid of them!! Didn't that feel good?Just to go back and say,yeah i remember that! Remember when.....decisions were made by going"eeny-meeny-miney-mo"or scissors,paper,rock."Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly".The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was boy/girl germs,and the worst thing to happen in your day was having to sit next to one.Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot. Nobody was prettier than your mum,Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.Taking drugs meant orange flavoured chewable vitamin C's.Icecream was considered a basic food group.Going to the beach and catching a wave were a dream come true.Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dare" Older siblings were the worst tormenters,but also the fiercest protectors.If you can remember most of these,then you have LIVED!!! Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown up " life........I DOUBLE DARE YA
