I just gave my kids an epic "Back in My Day" Summer rant and I got on a roll...

Here are 16 reasons Summer in the '90s crushes Summer in '23 and why our kids are soft:

1) Gatorade Citrus Cooler > every crappy Prime flavor

2) No Gatorade? Thirsty? Any garden hose on the side of a house in the '90s will do. Tasted better, in fact...

My kids: "Gross. It has no filter."

Me: "Filters weren't even invented when we were kids. Drinking mud and hot copper from the hose made us stronger."

3) Kids in '23: "Can you text Joe's mom to see if he's home?"

Really? Now we have to go through 7 texts so you can see your friend? The old way was perfect:

Kids in the '90s: "I'm calling Joe's house to see if he's home."

4) Even better in the '90s...

Kids: "I'm biking to Joe's to see if he's around."

Parents: "Good. Be home at 5."

Biking > driving

Calling > texting

5) Kids in '23: "Can you set up a playdate with Ed?"

Parents, when did the term "play date" take over? It's lame, weak parent-speak. It's our fault.

We should stop using it.

Our kids don't need dates to shoot driveway hoops.

Kids in '93: "Can Ed come over?" (simple)

6) Kids in '93: "Ken Griffey Jr. is the most awesome baseball player ever!"

Kids in '23: "What's baseball?"

7) If your kid likes a PB&J sandwich in 2023 it takes them 10 minutes to say so:

"This PB&J is so gas it's fire my guy no cap."

Describing a tasty PB&J in the 90s: "It's good."

8) Kids in '93: "I'm going to see The Sandlot in the theater with all my buddies Saturday afternoon."

Kids in '23: "We're watching some streaming super hero thing I don't know what app it's on."

9) Kids in '23: "I found this funny online video it has this guy at the zoo and he...."

Kids in the '90s: Chris Farley. Jim Carrey. Adam Sandler. Will Smith.

10) Kids in '23: "Alexa, play that AI song with Drake and KPop?"

Kids in the '90s: "I memorized all the words to Tribe Called Quest's 'Scenario'"

11) Kids in '23: "I'm watching this YouTube channel of this kid with a British accent making fun of high school videos he finds on YouTube."

Whaaaat??

How absurd are these shows?

Kids in the '90s: Saved By the Bell

12) Kids hearing a joke in '23: "i loled"

Kids hearing a joke in the 90s: ***actual laughter***

13) Kids in '23: "I'm on a group hangout with my friends."

Kids in the 90s: "A group of us are going to the park to hang out."

14) Kids in the 90s: "Can me and my friends walk to the pizza shop to get lunch?"

Parents: "Here's $5 to get two slices and a Coke."

Kids in '23: "Can we order Uber Eats for lunch? It's only $47.50?"

15) Kids in the 90s: "It's Friday night! Let's go to Blockbuster and cruise the aisles and grab a New Release and get some Junior Mints and popcorn."

Kids in '23 sitting on the couch: "Disney+ doesn't have anything new."

16) 90s kids: Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.

Kids in 2023: LeBron James' usage rate is....

ughhhhh zip it, dorks.

Jordan was better.

@TwitterSupport Twitter 2FA workflow is forcing me to use iOS instead of letting me choose an Authenticator…

@mengelmn @seandsweeney 100%. The cold is not fun but I’ll take the beautiful summers in exchange.
