I had one of these moments with my son last week. I felt funny saying it and laughed to myself. Of course he didn't know why in the world it was so funny to me. We are in a rather bad drought in the city I am from. He saw a picture of a kid playing in a sprinkler in their yard. I said to him, " I remember when I was a kid we could run through the sprinkler to our hearts' content." It was funny but then a little sad that he won't experience that, at least not in my town.

Safe sex was a padded headboard
I remember when the sound of the sewing machines (thousands) and woofs (hundreds) in my mill-town was so loud, you had to shout to be heard by others any time of the day. Old cotton mill cities are now in a 50+ year recession here in the USA.
I remember when life was simple and easy.
I remember when I first heard "If Ever I should Leave You" by Sir Lancelot in "Camelot."
a selfie meant somethng else
I remember when you had to let the tv warm up after it was stitched on. When you switched it off, you watched the dot until it disappeared.

A can of Coke and a candy bar (which was much bigger than they are now) cost a quarter, gas was well under a dollar a gallon and everyone said we'd never have a black president.
I remember when buying music was going to the store and buying a vinyl album.
I remember when Summer days were filled with drinking water from the garden hose, leaving home in the morning to play with friends all day until sunset, and ended with sleeping outside on the trampoline all night.

Do you remember when you were a kid?
According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint, which was promptly chewed and licked.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip flops.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted
the same.
We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy pop with sugar
in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.
We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no
one actually died from this.
We would spend hours building go-karts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.
We did not have Playstations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, and no Internet chat rooms. We had friends, we went outside and found them.
We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones but there were no lawsuits.
We had full on fistfights but no prosecution followed from other parents and we learned to make up.
We walked to friend's homes.
We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law.
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
And you're one of them. Congratulations!
For those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about us.
This my friends, is surprisingly frightening ...and it might put a smile on your face:
The majority of students in universities today were born in 1994 They are called youth.
They can never imagine life before computers.
And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.
I remember when Freddo's were 10p
I remember when the rest of the world didn't think Americans were crazy!
I remember when I had time to lay back and look for shapes in clouds
