I am from a generation that used to drink water from a water hose when thirsty, but you have to let it run a few moments not to burn yourself on the sun-soaked water that was stuck in the hose.
A generation that used to take rocks and draw on the road, making hop-scotch.
A generation that played paper dolls, hopscotch, and Barbies.
A generation that had skinned up knees and elbows from skating all day on the streets.
A generation that walked to and from school, with friends daily.
A generation without a babysitter.
A generation that did their homework just to get out in the neighborhood to run around with friends.
A generation with tree houses, and that climbed trees.
A generation that collected stickers, the scratch and sniff ones were the best.
A generation that still collected soda bottles, and would cash them in for a Coke (the original) and some Lemon Heads.
A generation that knew who Holly Hobby was.
A generation of sleeping over at friends' houses, staying up late watching HBO, and playing on an Ouji board.
A generation that played board games.
A generation that had the worst fashion (in the 80's & 90's)
A generation that started the mullet, My Little Pony's, Strawberry Shortcake & the Care Bears.
A generation that used to watch Saturday morning cartoons before running out to meet up with their friends.
At the time, I didn't know it was the best generation and the best childhood.
