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.
Then
after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright
colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids
on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets 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, from one bottle
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
our 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 at all, 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, and the worms did not
live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th
birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and
although we were told it would happen, we did not put out
very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's
house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just
walked in and talked to them!
Little League had
tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had
to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!
The
idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law
was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This
generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem
solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an
explosion of innovation and new ideas.
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?
