    Back in my day... if you got into mischief that wasn't too bad, the cops or the fire chief brought you home and ratted you out. Yes... I am speaking from experience.

    Back in my day every child played outside and wore their scars proudly but we were too afraid to tell our parents or other adults what actually happened!

    Back in my day... I worked in an auto supply and had to hand write all of our tickets, add them up and figure out the sales tax ourselves. It made me really quick with math though!

    Back in my day we'd pretend we were Evil Knievil when we rode our bikes!

    Playing cards in the spokes so it sounded like a real motorcycle ;-)

    We walked 2 miles to and walked 2 miles home in any kind of weather... -80 to 90. Sometimes the snow was 3" deep. Truth.
