Know what? I'mm old enough to be both of your mothers, but I have
the same "attitude" as YOU do! Nostalgia my you know what! Those
were YOUR times, YOUR memories and I don't see a damn thing wrong
with that!
I can see it through your eyes, as I have kids your age, the whole
WNEW thing, which coming out of the 60's, I would write the notes to
Neptune High School allowing my kids to "skip" to be released for
a "once in a lifetime day"!
I received a phone call at my job, because the principal didn't
believe I wrote it, (the note)! Yes, I was a regular "drill sargeant"
at home, because with 5 kids, I didn't see why they couldn't keep
order at home! My idea of a good time, was to pack the car and go up
to Yankee Stadium to see a game or in the summer go to the
Meadowlands for a Budweiser Beer Fest! I'm sure my kids thought I
was a pain in the ass, more than once! I call it discipline!
You only get one childhood, so why can't it be happy? Anyway, my kids
still recall many of the group things we did together, especially
since they didn't have to pay for anything! I've gotten "early"
tans, because one of them was playing Babe Ruth Ball or driving to
Delaware to see my youngest son run in college.
Oak and Jack, I'm feeling BOTH of you and I'm on the same page as
you! So what! Someone in this group always sees what others do or
feel as insignificant because THEY can't relate, but trust me, I do
and I'm glad you remember when the drinking age dropped to 18. Both
of my sons could then meet up with us and have a drink on who? Us!
Of course! Keep your memories close! Some of us can't relate, but
damn it I do! I still party, have a good time and get my drunk on
sometimes! At least I tell the truth!
I never had the guts to go into the Haunted Mansion, but my scary
girls went and came out all shook up! I laughed until I cried when I
was told the rats ran across one daughters feet and she jumped on her
brothers back for the rest of the ride!
