When around the corner seemed a long way, and going into town seemed like going somewhere.

When writing 'I love....? on your pencil case, really did mean it was true love.

Pillowfights, spinning round, getting dizzy and falling down was cause
for the giggles. The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a
team.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Weetbix cards pegged on
the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.

Eating raw jelly and raro, making homemade lemonade and sucking on a
Rad, a traffic light popsicle, or a Paddle Pop... blurple, yollange and
prink!

Remember when decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo" or dib dib's-scissors, paper, rock.

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in
Monopoly.

Terrorism was when the older kids were at the end of your street with
pea-shooters waiting to ambush you, or the neighbourhood rottie chased
you up a tree!


Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest
protectors.

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was boy/girl
germs, and the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to one.
Where disco's were the equivalent to a Rave, and asking a boy
out meant writing a 'polite' note getting them to tick 'yes' or 'no'.

Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot. Your
biggest danger at school was accidentally walking through the middle of
a �brandies� game.

Taking drugs meant scoffing orange-flavoured chewable vitamin C's, or swallowing half a Panadol.

Ice cream was considered a basic food group. Going to the beach
and catching a wave was a dream come true. Boogie boarding in the white wash made you the next Kelly Slater and abilities were discovered because of a "double-dare".

sounds like your feeling nostalgic and want to be a nine year old again either that or your smoking to much P!

I still make decisions by 'eenie meeny miny mo'.
It's how I ended up in Korea!!

My Mum banned raw raro, but the kids next door had a 'loose' Mum, so they would sneak it over to me and my sister.

Also:
Going to the dairy in the summer for 50 cent mixes
Cross country
Inter school athletics
Play School
Ollie Olsen
Party on the beach in the summer
First pash
Ginger nuts, toffee pops and strong tea at 'Nana's house'
Blue light disco....
