I'm so old I Remember when:

[azurbanclucker]

I skipped, so I don't know if anyone has brought up how brown the 80s were.
So. Much. Brown.

And fighting with my cousins over who got to sit in the back of the station wagon

Better than mustard and avocado and sadness of the 70's

When I think of the 80's I think of all the bright neon clothes. And hairspray. Lots of hairspray.

I would thing that avocado and mustard mixed would resemble a loaded diaper.

 

[LTAY1946]

I remember when all diapers were made out of cotton.

 

[LTAY1946]

I remember how a diaper bucket smelled in the bathroom.

Ya I don't remember brown but maybe that was a Canadian thing?
I was wearing black before black was cool.

Better than mustard and avocado and sadness of the 70's

Wasn't there some happy orange then too?

Really? I didn’t think they’d have enough sense - whenever I go into schools it’s always, “get your Chromebooks out”.

In the schools in my town, only 7th graders are allowed a school-appointed laptop for the year. And that is only to get kids accustomed to using them. Not everyone in my town has the financial resources to get their kids computers. Most homes around here do not even have a computer; kids are expected to use the library's computer.

Maybe they’ll bring back home economics and basic health class too (I mean like First Aid, not reproductive “health”).

Thank you! I wanted to write that earlier, but thought that I would get slapped at for it.

I figured y’all would be more open to it since you weren’t raised with my generation

Thanks! Very cool. My DH taught me to always hold on to wheat pennies. We've never checked any of them
