"I remember when kissing was gross, and the only thing you could get from boys were cooties. When you were popular if you had a new toy, not if you were a jerk. I remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground, and when race issues were who ran the fastest on the playground. When your worst enemies were your siblings, and wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut. I remember when there was no such thing as 'gay', and people liked you because you were nice, not 'cool'. I remember when the only thing you drank was grape juice, and being friends with a boy didn't mean you liked them. I remember when smoking was nasty, and war was just a card game. I remember when the only things that got broken were toys and bones. I remember when mommy was your hero, and goodbye meant until tomorrow. But you see, the one thing I remember most, is how badly I wanted to grow up" -quote, anonymous
