I"m talking about hide and seek/spotlight in the park. The corner dairy, hopscotch, four square, go carts, cricket in front of the garbage bin and inviting everyone on your street to join in, skipping (double dutch),gutterball, handstands, elastics, bullrush, catch and kiss, footy on
the best lawn in the street, slip"n"slides, the trampoline with water on it (or a sprinkler under it), hula hoops, jumping in puddles with gumboots on, 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 topsy. Mr Whippy cones on a warm summer night after you"ve chased him round the block. 20 cents worth of mixed lollies lasted a week and pretending to smoke "fags" (the lollies) was really cool!.. A dollars" worth of chips from the corner take-away fed two people (AND the sauce was free!!).Being upset when you botched putting on the temporary tattoo from the bubblegum packet, but still wearing it proudly. Watching Saturday morning cartoons: "The Smurfs", "He-man", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Jem" (trulyoutrageous!!), and "Heeeey heeeeey heeeeeeey it"s faaaaaaat Albert". Or staying up late and sneaking a look at the "AO" on the second telly, being amazed when you watched TV right up until the "Goodnight Kiwi!"When After School with Jason Gunn & Thingie had a cult following and What Now was on saturday mornings! When around the corner seemed a long way, and going into town seemed like going somewhere.
A million mozzie bites, wasp and bee stings. Sticky fingers, goodies & baddies, cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, riding bikes til the streetlights came on and catching tadpoles in horse troughs. Going down to the school swimming pool when you didn"t have a key and your friends letting you in, drawing all over the road and driveway with chalk. Climbing trees and building huts out of every sheet your mum had in
the cupboard (and never putting them back folded).
When writing "I love....? On your pencil case, really did mean it was true love. "He loves me? He loves me not?" and daisy chains on the front lawn. Running till you were out of breath. Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt.
Pitching the tent in the back/front yard (and never being able to find all the pegs). Jumping on the bed. Singing into your hair brush in front of the mirror, making mix tapes...Sleep overs and ghosts stories with the next door neighbours. Pillow fights, spinning round, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for the giggles. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Weetbix cards pegged on the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. Collecting WWF and garbage pail kids cards.Eating a Rad, a
traffic light popsicle, or a Paddle Pop... blurple, yollange and prink! You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents! It wasn"t odd to have two or three "best friends"
You didn"t sleep a wink on Christmas eve and tried (and failed) to wait up for the tooth fairy. When nobody owned a pure-bred dog. When 50c was decent pocket money. When you"d reach into a muddy gutter for 10c.
When nearly everyone"s mum was there when the kids got home from school. When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at the local Chinese restaurant (or Cobb"n"Co.) with your family.
When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed her or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
When being sent to the principal"s office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited when you got 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!!!
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.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with you best friend.

You'll blame a new love for things the old one did

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So, take too many pictures, laugh too much and love like you've never been hurt because every 60seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
