When I Was a Kid....

Wiwak the remote to my beta video player was attached with a cord that was always just a little bit to short, so we would walk to the machine to press okay on the Goonies b
 
WIWAK a person filled oit an application to hand in to the hiring manager in person
 
...we had to walk three miles uphill through four-foot high snow drifts to get to school. We didn't GET snow days...

Although I don't feel like I'm THAT old, I have lived through some major technological advances in my lifetime. I used to joke with my grandfather, who was born in 1896, that he watched the world go from horse-trodden dirt roads to a man on the moon during his lifetime. (Yet they still haven't invented a newspaper ink that won't come off all over your hands!) I have been thinking about how things were different when I was kid, compared to what my kid's lives are like. I would love to hear how things have changed for my Lit friends, too. Please chime in, and have fun!

When I was a kid we made forts with extra wood from construction sites and play king of the hill on the mounts of dirt and sand. Now a days kids don't to this, they stay inside and play with the digital games, no wonder so many kids are over weight today.
 
When I was a kid, movies were easily affordable on a child's allowance, although I was probably given money by my Mom. I've always disliked theaters, though, so I love watching movies at home now.
 
WIWAK, I remember going to see the first Indiana Jones movie for my 13th birthday, and Tron for my 16th birthday.

Tron--!! hee hee :D
 
Lets make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should,
 
WIWAK gas was .88 a gallon, Tonka trucks were metal, we bought our first microwave (still have it) and it was safe to walk down the street.

When I started driving, gas was 74 cents a gallon, and you could get a hamburger and fries at McDonald's for $1.06, including tax.

I played with my cock one day and all this white stuff came out. I was terrified until a friend told me what had happened. Then I produced as much as I could.
 
WIWAK I had to steal my parents VHS porn videos. And the only VCR in the house was in the least private room. Ah good ol' days.
