The spoiled under-30 crowd!!!

How about dodge car? Loved doing that. We did it every weekend, growing up.

can't say as I know that one but we did bumper hitch ( shag) cars all winter.

The big leagues was shaggin the public transit busses because once you got a mitt full of rear bumper and the buss took off, you were slidin blind until the buss stopped again. Sewer covers and pot holes could be a real biotch

When I was like 3 I walked across the street and asked the neighbor lady if my mom could borrow a few cookies until she went to the store.

I had seen this work with butter, and when mom went to the store, she had to buy butter to pay back mrs. gerowski.
So... I am thinking... hmm.... 3 cookies today, cookies the rest of the week.

remember the old soda bottle machines that had the little door you could open, the bad kids would take a bottle opener and pop the cap off and let it pour into a cup leaving a half bottle of pepsi in the machine

It didn't used to be frowned upon to spank or to take a belt to yea.

I gave my mother a hard way to go. She would use a yard stick or a hair brush on my a$$. I would just laugh. Than one day she discovered the hot wheel track and used it on the backside of my legs. She only had to do it once. It hurt like hell and left 2 welts.

I did n't much care for those tracks much after that.

What I'm most struck by is that the comparison of my kid's lives to mine in contrast with the lives my parents lived. While I certainly think by kids are spoiled, I have an incredible apreciation now for the stories I used to hear about being born during the Depression and being raised with nothing. Literally nothing.

I hear ya'........my dad was born in 1919 and had me at 43 yrs old (yeah I came along late).....do the math and he was 16 in 1935 the peak of the depression when your supposed to be excited and thinking about where you want to go in life.....like stated above they had litterally nothing.....Dads most prized possesion was a baseball glove but Dads family wasnt too bad off they had wood floors in the house, .....Mom, they had dirt.......so they live through that "fun" time in the 30s and get rewarded with going to WW2 in 1940!!!......fun times!
When I was like 8 or 10 yrs old Id hear my Dad talking about this guy and that guy, so I said to him....."Dad!.....why dont you call these guys up and see what their doing??"......he says "they're all DEAD!!....killed in the war!" ....Im like....."Oh.....sorry Dad".......of a group of like 15 in the area where Dad lived less than half came back.

I am definatly spoiled!!!
