back in my day...
we played outside. making up games, running around, being active, not sitting inside playing video games. (that only happened if it was raining. hello super smash bros.)
there was landline phones and you couldn't use the computer when someone called.
kids didn't have cell phones, or iPods, or laptops. I had a portable cd player and the Nsync cd. hell, I didn't get a cell phone until I was 16, and it was a flip phone and I didn't have unlimited texts or minutes. (at least we had cd players and cell phones though.)
I spent Saturday mornings watching cartoons and Saturday nights watching SNICK.
the cost of living was cheaper.
when you missed school because you were sick you watched The Price is Right.
kids wore their pants around their waist, not sagging below the butt. and we respected our elders.
schools were safe. no one even thought about bringing a gun to school.
we made up games to keep us entertained on those long rides in the car. we didn't have tvs/dvds/etc to keep us entertained in the car.
no one had blogs.
pictures had to be developed.
the Indians were good. nah, great. the Indians were great.
couples stayed married (more) and guys respected girls (more).
I completely forgot about SNICK!! That was some amazing TV right there! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeletei got kinda sad reading this post, yes back then school was so much safer, no one thought about taking a gun to school. Wish it could be like that again

Aww, the pictures are so cute! :) We also always played outside as kids, it was so much more fun! I have never heard of Snick but I loved to watch The Price Is Right. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Price is Right every day in the summer, then outside to play. Or every day when sick.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Oh the photos. I have so many overexposed photos and terrible photos because you didn't really know how they would turn out til they were developed. God bless those disposable cameras.
