As a child growing up in the 80’s and early 90’s
Television sets looked a lot different then they do today
A square box that was bigger then ever with a square glass piece to cover the screen
A dial on the tv to change the very few channels that were available
Being a child you have a vivid imagination and believe in almost anything
For me, growing up was all about imagination and having fun
As for the television......
I believed the square glass covering on the tv could be removed while watching a program
Being able to pull any character from the show directly into my living room
It may sound stupid but to me that was real... especially when I was “able” to pull ***** Brewster out to play with me....
Also, growing up we played outside (a lot)
Mother may I?
Red light, green light
Tv tag
Hopscotch
Red ****
Skip it
Jump rope
Riding our big wheels
Climbing trees
Swinging on the swings to see who could go higher
But always remembered
“As soon as the street lights went on at dusk, we all returned to our property”
Why am I rambling on about my childhood?
Unfortunately nowadays children growing up don’t seem to grasp the idea to get outside and play (without a piece of technology in their hands)
Their all to busy with their face plastered inside their phones, iPads, video games etc
Not just children, even for adults (I am also guilty of this) but I also take a step back and revert to my childhood and take it all in
Even for a couple minutes, hours or even a day....
Let’s all look up from our technology and take in the world
With so much hate, anger and animosity throughout our world (because we all hide behind our social media)
Let’s all be kind, love one another and help someone
For you never know when you will need help yourself
You can’t always hide behind your technology
Mother may I pray for love and peace around the world?
(Mother) Yes my child, Yes.......
