    I remember listening to cassette tapes and having to use a pencil to wind the tape back into place after the stereo tried to eat it.

    I remember, as a kid, watching shows like:
    Cold Water Creek
    Hey Dude
    The Waltons
    Lassie
    The Munsters
    The Ren and Stimpy Show

    This is bad...for a few years when I was a kid I lived by a lake where there were lots of seasonal cottages.
    I remember my friends and I touring through the "abandoned" cottages...in retrospect they were probably just not often used. The doors weren't locked...so I was told...I was so gullible.

    This isn't a generational thing, it's just a me thing:

    When I was in the upper single digits and lower double digits, I used to run around and play all day, then mix up big batches of oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough and eat it raw in large doses. I also sold portions of it to my siblings and hoarded the cash. >:)

    As an adult, I go for long-distance runs and earn a bunch of calories, then I mix up big batches of cookie dough and eat it fully cooked in moderate doses. I also share portions, FOR FREE, with my siblings. So grown up now! o:)

    I remember accidentally walking into the men's restroom once. There were no guys in there, but I instantly knew I was in the wrong place when that distinctive, funky smell hit my nostrils. Guys are gross. Just sayin'. :p

    We sure are, some peoples accuracy in peeing inside the urinal sink is off target. Most men don't wash their hands either. :lol:

    Playing outside, drinking from the hose, mom yelling to come for dinner, and be home when the streetlights come on.

    Same here. Those were the days of fun.
