Creighton wrote this on another thread about people today going to Pawn Stars instead of Disney, Times Sq. etc.... and I thought of something.

WHAT DID WE DO AS A KID THAT TODAYS KIDS HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT?

I will start off by saying;   We had to get off the couch to change the channel or raise the volume on the TV.

And another thing I've been thinking about and miss... listening to LP records.. I have a box of them from my younger days...
Started looking for a old record player to play them on... I remember back in my high school days at night I would put a stack
of 4 records on the turn table and go to sleep listening to them... my kids have no idea what I mean...

What's a payphone? I saw one in the wild the other day and had to take a second look.
I used to play outside.

       Nobody had to teach us how to use the bottle opener on a Coke machine  biggrin

       We did our math homework without a calculator and our source of knowledge came from the encyclopedia or the library.

We played kickball until the street lights came on...then it was time to come home, get cleaned up, and go to bed (with no TV in the bedroom).

Watch a show when it was on or have to wait for the repeat. No on demand or tevo. Had to hope you programmed the vcr right to record. Along with phones they made phone calls not showed tv. Heck posting this from my phone and spell check didnt recognize "vcr"

Directions consisted of hanging a left at the run down house not garmin units.

Clocks had hands to tell time.
