Go back to the time when:
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe', or bubble gum bubble gum in a dish…. and even better daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky.
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'
'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.
Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!
Post this in your profile if you know someone else that would remember these days . . . . or if you smiled at one of these things.
Never forget those days and hold those memories close,
And whenever you need to smile look back at these.
It's amazing how a few words can bring back all of those feelings,
and make someone smile.
