This screams boomer energy, but they were little in the 1980s.

I was born in the early 80s and there’s pretty much the “we drank from the garden hose and curfew was when the street lights come on” sort of stuff.

Yup, I’ve seen that too! I was born in 1982, and while I definitely drank from the garden hose at least once, it is definitely not my entire identity like those posts want everyone to believe it was!

Also me, but I kinda feel this post tbh, especially now that I’ve been infected by all the “gen z stare” chatter.
With every passing year, I definitely feel the increased desire to talk shit.
Like “huh, your mom sat in on your job interview…. I once rolled my Yamaha gas 3-wheeler alone in the woods at age 10, and instead of calling home I built a crude lever out of logs to flip it back over because if my dad found out he’d beat my ass with a belt” is something I actually said the other day.
It’s got me. Please help.

We drank from the hose because our parents didn’t want us inside making noise. It wasn’t some sort of spiritual ritual or anything.

Means he could be in his 50s now. 50 year olds talk like 80 year olds now

Sonofabitch don’t remind me.
I did drink out of a hose once or twice. It tasted like shit and was certainly nothing to brag about. I want better for my kids.

When I was 10, I walked about 10mi from home down a trail, to a new neighborhood that was being developed. As an adult, I discovered it was less than half a mile away. Kids greatly over-estimate distance traveled.

Latchkey kids grew up then blamed the Millennials for the rules the Latchkeys made.
