A FB friend of mine from childhood just posted this in her status:

When I was a kid I didn't have Nintendo DS, XBox, Wii or PS3 . I had rocks, sticks, dogs and mud, was fortunate to have a bike. If I didn't eat what my mom made, I didn't eat. And I dealt with it. I didn't think of telling my parents "no" or dare to talk back and I got in BIG TROUBLE if I did. Life wasn't hard, it was life.. And I survived. Repost if you appreciate the way you were raised...
 

I'm laughing because she was the same age as me and we certainly had plenty of video game consoles. In fact, we used to play Super Mario together all the time. She was also a total city girl who I never once saw ride a bike, let alone play with mud.

Just thought it's funny how we romanticize the past like that.

    Snerk. I've seen that status several times from older folks this morning. It's not like we were outside in knickers, pushing a big wheel with a stick down the sidewalk while little Johnny was at the corner yelling "EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!"

    I'm not lying when I say that this was my childhood.  I'm the youngest of 5 kids and only my father worked.  My mom didn't drive...in fact I taught her to drive when I got my license.  We got an Atari console when I was in 6th grade.  The five of us shared 3 bikes.  I identify with that post!  LOL
