For my childhood, I'd like to thank: - orange Nerf footballs - Toaster Strudels - Looney Toons - Super Tecmo Bowl - Big Foot monster truck - Hulk Hogan (and the Hulkamaniacs) - Banana Seats - Used word processor - Muncie Mission - Bottle Rockets - Semi-truck wall paper - Tennis-shoe blanket - Generic brands - Pegged jeans and Eastland shoes - Mrs. Davidson, Mr. Osborn, and Mr. Mason - "Pandoubty" - Mrs. Skinner sunday school - Homemade pizza - Homemade ice-cream - Staying up late to watch the superbowl - books (made of paper)
I still feel like a kid when I...
- see reruns of Home Improvement, Full House, Family Matters, or Little House on the Prairie
- eat grilled cheese, nachos, or anything from a compartmentalized plate or tray
- drink fruit juice
- play catch, Super Tecmo Bowl or Tetris
- smell grilled bratwurst, crayons, glue, or fresh-cut grass
- hear thunderclaps, 50's and 60's music, the creak of playground equipment
- see firework stands, muddy lakes, and Lunchables
- look at my baby girl
--------
When do you still feel like a kid?
