the simpler days when

We knew every word to every Hillary Duff song and listened to the Backstreet Boys 24/7. Anyone else have a walkman? Mine was red.


In third grade we made houses for our potato bugs then realized they had families somewhere, so we let them all go.


Conversations on weekends with your Mom went like this:

"Mom, can I have a sleepover?"
"No"
"Well then can I have a late night?"


We'd play dead man, crack the egg, and have knee wars on trampolines 'till our legs ached with soreness and our knees were bleeding.


School was a breeze. Homework consisted of adding, subtracting, and spelling words like "friend" and "outdoors"


All boys had cooties, yet you secretely liked someone but couldn't tell your friends cause, well, he had cooties. So you were mean to him.


Making new friends was easy as 1,2,3. You'd just invite them over to play bratz.


We had Cheetah Girl parties and got dibs on who we wanted to be in the movie. I always wanted Chanel, but Dorinda would do.


Taking naps was as appealing as going shopping.


Holding hands or a kiss on the cheek was SO scandelous. You couldn't let your Mom find out.


Night games every night. Be there. You bring the can to kick.


Life was muy grand.
