Your clothes came from Kmart and they stayed on layaway until school started. Eating out at a restaurant was a thing every now & then!! Fast food was leftovers at home. Eating popsicles was a treat on a hot day. We had fake cigs for candy and you only needed $1 or less. School was mandatory. You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your play clothes. If no one was home after school, you went to the neighbors. Nobody paid for daycare because we had a key to the house to get in when we got home.
We ate dinner at the table. Our house phone wasn't always being used. We played Cops and Robbers, 1-2-3 Not It, Red Light Green Light, Hide & Seek, Truth or Dare, Tag, Kickball, Dodgeball & we rode bikes. Girls and Boys played in the street. We came home when the street lights came on.
Staying in the house was a punishment and the only thing we knew about being "bored", "You better find something to do before I find it for you!" We ate what Mom made for dinner or we ate nothing at all. There was no bottled water; we drank from the tap or the water hose!
Phone numbers and address’s were either memorized or written on a folded piece of paper which was kept with you at all times!
What were Cell phones? We watched cartoons on Saturday mornings and rode our bikes for hours. We ran around in the streets until dark and came in before the street lights came on.
We were AFRAID OF NOTHING.
We watched our mouths around our Elders. If we acted up we got beat with a wooden paddle, switch or belt!
These were the good old days.
Kids today will never know how it feels to be a real kid, they will never understand my childhood!!

NEW: President Joe Biden told reporters he's "working on" fulfilling his campaign pledge to free cannabis prisoners.
“I don’t think anyone should be in prison for the use of marijuana."
It's the president's first cannabis comments since taking office.

In pornography there is a trans woman category and a woman category. No one has ever tried to put them together. They know they are different. Same with trans men. So whats the actual problem? ( even if you do not like porn this fact remains to make a point)
People need to take tests/classes then get licensed to do things such as drive a car, why not require such to own assault style weapons? Even go deeper: u want one so bad, submit to a basic psyche eval.
Just a reminder that 19 parents still don’t get to tuck their children into bed tonight. We need to stay enraged until actual changes are made to keep our kids safe. We’ve let the next generation down with our “thoughts and prayers” and moving on with our days. Enough is enough.
@lmtmws762 @stefansmalls @voxdotcom That's how I expected this discussion to go. Since it's been all insults and word salad in ur side. Have a good night 😴
@stefansmalls @lmtmws762 @voxdotcom As well as, one needs to have a LICENSE. This is granted when one proves, by taking a test, they can handle the responsibility. Just being 18 shouldn't be an instant qualify.
Only in America 18 year olds can’t buy alcohol because they’re not mature enough. And if they want to drive a car, they need to take classes and pass a test before getting a license. But that same 18 year old can purchase an AR-15 and kill multiple people in a matter of seconds.
