Time for some nostalgia. I will start…
Being given some money and thinking you were rich.
When you were asleep in your car and your dad makes that final turn and you just knew you were home.
Not allowed to turn a light on inside the car at night.
Staring out the window on long car rides in the rain. Watching rain drops drip down the window and seeing which one wins the race all the way down.
Staring at the school clock wishing it was recess.
What the wooden stick, you used for ice cream, tastes like.
Thinking “I will remember this moment forever” and you are doing something that is really insignificant.

Being seven and playing cops and robbers with a gun-shaped stick without having to worry about being arrested by the police. I killed like 200 people and didn't catch a single charge.

Riding bikes with your friends, looking for something to do and stumbling on to some backyard adventure.

Saturday morning cartoons
Birthday parties at places like Skate City, Don Carter's, Putt Putt Golf, Fun Fair Park, or McDonalds.
Cruising the mall
Thinking that you were staying hydrated drinking capri suns all day, or those sugar drinks in the little plastic barrels.
Price is Right on sick days

Great thread!
I’m pretty sure the ice cream truck song is the same everywhere in the world. If I heard it today, I’d probably start running home to get a quarter.

Also seeing how many stripes in the road you could count before they started passing too quickly.

Getting inside of an old tractor tire and then having my podnahs roll the tire down the slope in a pasture that lead to a bayou in the back of my street. Lots of faith in the guys running along side you that they would tip the tire over before it hit the edge of the bayou cause there was about a 10 foot drop to the water.

Grew up in a small town. I’m an 80’s kid. So no cell phones then. When we wanted to find our friends for a baseball or football game we’d ride our bikes around town to different friends houses and whoever had the most bikes in their yard, we knew where the boys were.

Hearing the buzz of the street light coming on, saying it was time to get home before it was fully bright.
