To Be Young Again

I want to be a kid again. I want to go back to the time when:

- Decisions were made by going "lat tali lat tali tam pom."
- Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
- "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest...
- Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly."
- Catching the dragonflies could happily occupy an entire evening...
- It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends...
- Being old, referred to anyone over 20...
- It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb...
- Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better...
- It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park..
- Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles...
- The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team...
- War was a card game...
- Water balloons were the ultimate weapon...
- Ice cream was considered a basic food group...
- Ang pows are received without the persistant nagging of when's your turn...

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have really LIVED!!!!
