Turn on the sound!
Subject: 57 CHEVY - Sit Back and Enjoy!!!!!!




Remember when......?

Turn on your sound and remember. . . . You'll enjoy this one. OK, so
some
of you might have been too young to remember . . . . enjoy the music
anyway.

REMEMBER....

When the worst thing you could do at school was smoke in the
bathrooms,
flunk a test or chew gum. And the banquets were in the cafeteria and
we
danced to a juke box later, and all the girls wore fluffy pastel gowns
and
the boys wore suits for the first time and we were allowed to stay out
till 12 p.m.

When a '57 Chevy was everyone's dream car. . . to cruise, peel out,
lay rubber and watch drag races, and people went steady and girls wore
a class
ring with an inch of wrapped dental floss or yarn coated with pastel
frost nail polish so it would fit her finger.

And no one ever asked where the car keys were 'cause they were always
in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked. And you
got in big trouble if you accidentally locked the doors at home, since
no one ever had a key.

Remember lying on your back on the grass with your friends and saying
things like "That cloud looks like a..."

And playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the
game. Back then, baseball was not a psychological group learning
experience-it was a game.

Remember when stuff from the store came without safety caps and
hermetic seals 'cause no one had yet tried to poison a perfect
stranger.

And...with all our progress...don't you just wish...just once...you
could slip back in time and savor the slower pace...and share it with
the
children of the 80's and 90's...

So send this on to someone who can still remember Nancy Drew, The
Hardy Boys, Laurel & Hardy, Howdy Doody and The Peanut Gallery, The
Lone Ranger,
The Shadow Knows, Nellie Belle, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk
as well as the sound of a real mower on Saturday morning, and summers
filled with bike rides, playing in cowboy land, baseball games,
bowling and visits to the pool...and eating Kool-Aid powder with
sugar.

When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the
fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.

Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of
drive by shootings,drugs, gangs,etc.

Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But we all
survived because their love was greater than the threat.

Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that!





And was it really that long ago?





SNIP : kinda cute...yes ?
