Erm, haven't we just got bigger?

Way too pricey but love the ideas there!
I miss being able to run around my garden in the sprinkler just wearing my knickers and it not being a big deal.

Don't say things like that during the middle of the day! How am I supposed to concentrate at work this afternoon?
For the record, I used to do that too with my cousins who lived next door - we were/are all about the same age but the thought of us doing it now aged 40 is little short of terrifying.

I used to do that, but in a swimming costume.
I'm no tart, like you lot. 
We've never had a sprinkler.

Fern slides. Better than tobogganing.
I miss my 'Uncle' Steve sticking his finger up my bottom. I used to get loads of sweets and everything. He was going to take me to Alton Towers for the weekend, but the police came and took him away.
My Mum told everyone he got a job in Wales.
