I remember a lot of things from "back in the day" and since I had a giggle about some last night I'm going to share them here. Feel free to share your own in the comments! :)
I remember when cars didn't beep at you for a seatbelt, doors, trunks, low tire pressure, or low gas. You used to have to know to close the doors...
I remember when school didn't close for snow, you just got to stay inside for recess...if you were lucky
I remember when not eating supper meant you go to bed without supper
I remember backyard skating rinks
I remember neighbors shoveling each others walks
I remember before they took God out of O' Canada (still haven't learned the newer version...)
I remember before texting, when people actually called you to chat
I remember when friends were important social interaction (not games!) and you had met them all face to face
I remember when you had to dress up and leave the house to find someone to date
I remember when it was ok to wear pajama pants to school but not work
I remember when exercise was terrible, outside, and usually involved laps. Thank you Wii fit and yoga!
When things change some are for the better and some, well, maybe not. All we can do is embrace the ones we love and tolerate and adjust to the ones we might not. What do you remember that's changed?
