Dirty Feet in the Summer!

"My curfew was the lightning bugs, my mom didn't call my cell phone, she called my name. I played outside with friends, not online. If I didn't eat what mom cooked, I didn't eat. Sanitizer didn't exist but you COULD get your mouth washed out with soap. I rode a bike w/o a helmet, getting dirty was ok and neighbors cared as much as your parents. Repost if you drank from a garden hose and survived!"

This is a Facebook status that has been copied and pasted many times. I came across it and wished at that moment for a more simple time when things were all about how you approached people, not how to create the perfect text. My Nona even commented on my status saying this was what it was like when she was growing up! Now, I don't know if it's because of this quotation or the mere fact that I need to be more active, but the past few days (when it has been sunny!) I've been going outside more and more. Today I even found an old squirt gun. It started out boring at first squirting random things, but then I chased the cat with it! Which I gotta say, was greatly hilarious. I even kicked a ball around, played 2-square with my brother, played with my Frisbee randomly, and even went up to the call-de-sac (or dead end I can't spell) to check out Luke and his hand-made jump. I promised him that as soon as I got some air in my tires that I would ride with him, but I don't think I'm brave enough to actually jump anything. And I still have to be the responsible one. 


I should totally wash my feet. These aren't mine (dang, I need a camera cord!), but mine look the same. ;) 


Okay, change of plans. By searching "dirty feet" on Bing, they say BingSafe or whatever picks up some adult content that I don't want to see. For all I know, "dirty feet" could be a porno. And I also remembered that most people do not enjoy looking at feet. So I'm sparing you all! :) 


The only bad thing from all this playing is that now I'm super hungry!
