Remember When It Was Safe To Blow Bubbles?
When all it required was the stick that came in that little bubble bottle?
Seanna lost about 9″ of hair tonight.
What other items from childhood have lost all simplicity?
Los
Remember when a phone was actually attached to your wall?
RAIN IT DOWN
Records. I remember telling my son (about 13 years ago) about a Fox and the Hound record I had when I was young and I was so excited because it had the picture on the entire record (which was so amazing back then). He replies, “what’s a record?”
My first record was my Fat Boyz record
Records are making a comeback like woah.
I don’t know if it was simple or not… but I remember waiting for a new CD to come out. Like WAITING outside the record store for them to open up. The iTunes generation has no idea what thats like.
I’ve been building a collection of jazz records. Jazz and vinyl were made for each other!
I just got a new jazz vinyl. I came a week ago. Vinyl is not dead. However, I will never play it because it’s a limited edition and signed, but still…
Looks like she was able to smile about it? That’ll be a story to tell.
The other day my 10yr old brother was in town… we were talking about running some errands and sending a fax. He looked at me and said, what’s a fax machine? I felt so old!
Then on top of that we found some random video on Youtube about Barbra Streisand, and he said… I quote, “What’s a Streisand?”
Friends… They used to be those close in proximity to you and did life next to you, now they are everywhere and though they do life with you the distance can’t help but change the view… Wouldn’t have it any other way though…
dude… monopoly. no more cheating = no more fun.
This soooo dates me .. . a teenager, upon hearing Billy Joel on the radio, didn’t seem to know who he was. I said, “you know, the ‘Piano Man’” She said, “I don’t listen to piano music.”
….awww, man…hate when that happens. Poor Seanna, that happened here not long ago with a candy that had a plane with a propellers!
And, as for old school…my big wheel…I didn’t have a jeep(or corvette or hummer) that had a motor in it and I drove…I pedaled and used my trusty hand brake to spin out!
My girls got those for Easter, too. Wah-oh!

Hahaha. So, I’ve got the same exact hair pretty much, and that exact same thing happened to me when I was little. I was not nearly as good a sport about it, though. Haha. You CAN buy plain old bubble blowers though. And they’re just as fun.
My son is getting married and the venue will not allow bubbles because they are harmful to birds???? How many bubble do they think we would actually use lol
Wow, I have heard of not letting you throw rice because of the birds, but bubbles?
Your address.
My smart, beautiful 17 year old daughter was registering for an online college class. When it came to Address Line 1 she entered in her email address and asked me what her second email address was for Address Line 2!!! It did not even occur to her that they were asking for her street address!
Kids these days…
The ability to spell and speak in complete sentences… When I read texts or fb posts from anyone under 20, I feel like I’m deciphering a code!
action figures… they were there, they existed… the ones my boys have come apart and morph into other things, talk, or come with codes so you can play your “character” online!! CRAZY!
Any toy that requires a battery.
Helping my wife with the computer. Every time she sits down to do something, she has some problem, which are becoming progressively more complicated and time-wasting for me to solve!
A skateboard.
The thing that makes me sad is the over simplification of Chemistry sets for kids. There are some being made these days with no chemicals. Thank you litigious society.
supersoakers and nerf guns have both gone from simple to complicated
DUDE! apparently monopoly has a version that now uses fake credit cards?? what about messily arranging money while trying to keep the slightest bit of wind to not blow them to your neighbors pile?
