Protection meant
wearing a
helmet.
Getting high
meant
eating too much
lollies.
Staying up late
meant
7:00pm
Watching TV
was
all about the
Wiggles.
Cutting
meant
falling
over.
Learning from
your mistakes was
getting a
maths sum
wrong.
Not believing
was
worrying that
your mum wasn't going to buy cake.
Birthday parties
meant
cake and
candles.
Toys
meant
Barbie Dolls and
Lego.
Being special
meant
you were the
only who got 20/20.
Drugs
meant
cough
medicine.
Blood belonged
in
fairytales.
Love
was
hugging.
Being fat
wasn't
an
option.
Everything's
changed.
I miss those
times.
