This is for all the older folks out there.............
HOW DID WE SURVIVE
Looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we
have.
As children we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day
was always a special treat.
Our baby cribs were painted with bright-colored lead based paint.
We often chewed on the crib, ingesting the paint.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets,
and when we rode our bikes we had no helmets.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps
and then rode 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 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!
We played dodgeball and sometimes the ball would really hurt.
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda,
but we were never over weight; we were always outside playing.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.
Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Some students weren't as smart as others or didn't work as hard
so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same
grade.
That generation produced some of the greatest risk-takers and problem
solvers.
We had the freedom, failure, success and responsibility,
and we learned how to deal with it all.
How'd we DO that?
