"You may have been raised on bologna sandwiches, biscuits & gravy, fried potatoes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Campbell's Soup, and meatloaf. You probably played in the dirt (even ate some); got your butt busted (spanked); had a few TV channels and no remote. In school, you started the day with "The Pledge," listened to your teachers, and if you got in trouble at school, you got in trouble at home as well. Your parents weren't afraid to let you play outside all day, and you did. If you got hurt, you picked yourself up and continued to play. You rode your bike all day without a helmet, and rode in the back of pickup trucks. You played in the creek, swam in real lakes, and drank water from a hose. You were expected to sit at the table for meals with the family, and you had a bedtime. What the heck! You turned out fine!"
This isn't my creation. My father's family recently had a family reunion which I wasn't able to attend. My sister who attended with her family e-mailed me a copy of this. It was posted somewhere during the reunion. I got a kick out of it. I think I can relate to everything on here except getting in trouble in school. I was a good kid in school. LOL! Feel free to add to the list.
