Just think of how smart the little ****heads have to be to run all those gadgets though! The toughest thing we, and I'm 57 had to figure out was to set the alarm clock so we could get home before curfew!

[twenty47]

when i was younger, i was the remote control for the parents..... hahaha

[67christine]

what I really hated was when my brother and I were living at home we had to cut the grass with a gas powered lawnmower. When we moved out my dad bought a riding lawnmower. When I asked him why he did not buy one for us to use his answer, "that is what you have kids for". I never got a chance to even try it our, it was his baby.

[USCTrojans]

LOL but its the technology era now, and the worst thing is that these new generation kids CANT LIVE WITHOUT all these gadgets and games LOL

[dabber1]

The best thing is we all remember those times and god they were all fun! Except that pushmower............I feel your pain christine..

[USCTrojans]

LOL at the push lawnmower LOL i do remember doing that too hahahaha

[dabber1]

Yeah the push mower and ice cold lemonaide. God would mom have been pissed off if she knew I topped mine off with vodka!

[USCTrojans]

Hell I even remember selling mangos when the time came and I was about 7 and wanted to make cash to buy candy LOL

[eejit101]

...says the guy on his laptop/PC.....


Put a fork in me...

[USCTrojans]

No no no, wait a minute, when I was young i was not a nintendo addict or any like that, i would be out playing soccer and golf and climbing mountains and what not, NEVER was I a "need all the new tech stuff" child...

I am the ALWAYS on PC/Laptop guy cause I work on it all day so...i gotta be on

[eejit101]

lol calm down! i am joking, as i always am.

Its just the whole world is technologised now, whats the point not being with it

[USCTrojans]

LOL, i wasnt mad, I ws just making a point LOL

I would prefer to be golfing everyday than to be on the PC lolol

[twenty47]

when i was a kid, we'd all just meet on the street we lived on with a hoola hoop or something and make a game out of it..... we'd have about 10 kids playing with next to nothing for toys, lol, skipping rope, chalk, a stick, etc

my 8 year old son would probably start crying if all i gave him was piece chalk to go out and play with, LOL

[USCTrojans]

Yeap, maybe thats why there was less crime in the past, people used to excersise and go out not stay at home like in a cave like they do nowadays too...
