The Good 'Ol Days

Do you remember a time when the most fun you had was with a huge cardboard box and your imagination? The cardboard box became your space ship and you became an astronaut, Running through the living room pretending to travel through space, Run in your back yard pretending it was the moon and creating a whole new world. Do you remember when little kids were so innocent and pure? Now days first graders are exposed to things they shouldn't be exposed to until they are way older. What happened to the good cartoons on t.v.? you know like rocket power or the wild thorn berries, the cartoons with the good morals, But today there's shows on t.v. that consist of violence, drugs, sex, or stupid stuff. What happened to the simple things in life? There are more people that rely on material things so much they loose sight of the simple things and happiness. What has happened to our government? You can barley trust the protection & legal system any more. Take a good look around you, alot has changed with every year, every generation, What happened to the good 'ol days? How they are missed by only so many people, I hope someday soon the good 'ol days come back soon.

I'm wishing for the good 'ol days too, when life was simpler, and people seemed less stressed and happier. And yes...kids could play with an old cardboard box for hours! Nicely put! Sincerely, Carrie
