A simply random compilation of things I have noticed. I hope to make it a fun list too - not all serious. My mind comes up with the oddest things. My husband usually laughs at them (or shakes his head wondering) and I thought to myself , "Self, why should he have all the fun?". We'll see what the response is and I might do it again.
Kids don't play with other kids anymore. No sleepovers. No "Mom? Can so-and-so come over after school?"
Parents don't let their kids just be kids.
No one likes to wait in line or waits their turn.
I have seen more underwear outside of my home than we own combined!
Teenage girls don't babysit anymore and those that do, don't without their parents.
I didn't zip my winter coat in high school and I don't zip it now.
My son will never know what it's like to wear bread bags in his boots!
People get confused at 4 way stops.
My coffee order is as complicated as buying cigarettes once was.
There is a line somewhere south of Ludington that defines "up north" (where i I'm from) from "Grand Rapids" (anywhere South of Muskegon).
Jacob's teeth always hurt during dinner but, never before a dessert or snack.
"I just want to look (at the toys)" ALWAYS brings tears when mom won't buy one.
Making a special trip to the $1 store for the same brand name items that you could have bought while you were in the Wal*Mart for only 97 cents!
Washing our recycling. We didn't wash it before when we were throwing it in the trash.
People drive BIG trucks and they can't fit them into one parking space.
If the parents who walk their kids into school everyday are going to continue this routine throughout high school and college. We're talking 5th graders, folks.
I'm also open to suggestions!
