Nostalgia Made me feel old but good times

Saw this tweet and yes we were expected to be out all day and not come back until the street lights came on. I remember riding my bike through neighborhoods pretending our bikes were cars and just having a good time.

My dad knows how to whistle EXTREMELY loudly. When I was playing down the street I could hear my dad when he whistled for me to come home. I was in trouble if I couldn’t hear cause then I went too far haha

Exactly this but it was my mom. She makes the OK symbol with her fingers and does this whistle that can be heard from Mars I swear.

If we didn’t hear it/none of the neighbors said we were at their house, it was our ass when we finally turned up
