I’m a Gent X baby! I grew up when the sliding board was made of metal and we had to be on the porch when the streetlights came on. I had a trapper keeper and used news paper as book covers 😂 I had real dictionaries not the google search toolbar. I use the hose for water and coffee was never allowed… I road a bike that had a banana seat. My favorite outside toy was the big wheel. Do you remember how to adjust the seat on the swing yep we used to throw the swing over the bar.. In my era growing up we played in the streets and every neighbor knew your name. 😩 My childhood memories wasn’t made of rainbows and sunshine it was made of tough love! We figured it out and had respect for our elders. Never forget the era that raised you!
