Childhood

Category: Life

My dad sent me this. I had to share it with my people. I just added some to the end to let yall know what's really up with me in regards to my generation and younger.
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!


First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they
carried us.


They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get
tested for diabetes

Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, and when we rode our bikes,
we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, and NO ONE actually died from
this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar
in it, but we weren't overweight because

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back
when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the
hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a
few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games , no 99
channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones,
no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD
FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

And YOU are one of them!CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own
good.

and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave
their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

I agree completely. The younger generation, even my generation, are bunch of punk assed cry babies. People smoke and drank and muthafuck a health club and there was still a baby boom. Now a days everyone is safe and "healthy" and they still have to take fertility drugs and vitamins just to have a healthy baby. We truly are some bitches. When I think of it, its a gottdamned shame! Think about yall when you wanna bithc and moan about babying a child or defending some punk assed retard. I'm done.

Yall be good.

Oh yeah if you really want to know what I'm doing. I am having a beer and a cigarette and watching Basketball. What kind of gay shit is that where we can't choose that as an option to what we are doing? The whole world is turning gay! (And by gay I mean GAY)
