My childhood. And friends. (WARNING, this is a nerdy post.)

    I had the best childhood ever. I was born in 1996, I remember what a corded house phone is, a tape player, and when I was a kid we did not have Ipads. We thought THIS was the coolest thing ever:

        For those of you who don't know what this is, this is a Litebrite, google. it.We played dressup, Barbies, bounced the bounce out of our trampoline.
      For the first part of my childhood, this gang were my only pals...

     They taught me friendship, love, and proper nutrition. I've grown older, but these fellows are near and dear to me still.
    When I was a kid I had alot of neighbors on my street, quite a few. And I still keep in touch with them.

   Well almost all of them. Except the one that I loved the most, we liked the same letter, we liked the same food.

      He got caught in the wrong end of a drive by.....

      But things have really changed!
                               For example, trolls when I was little:

Trolls now:

 

Kids playing when I was a kid:

 

Kids now: 

                                                             Or at this point:

        Isn't it crazy how things can change so quickly in a decade or two? Children less and less are playing outside and more and more playing on the computer, watching tv, killing brain cells! But what are parents supposed to do? It's not like they don't do the same things! America needs to change ASAP. It may be too late...
