When I was a kid....

:rotfl:

Of course I go back a few more than that. No cable TV - five channels and no rabbit ears. I remember my dad going up on the roof and fiddling with the antenna until the picture looked sort of-almost-maybe good.

My daughter once asked me what kind of computer I had when I was her age. When I told her we didn't have computers at all she stared at me and then said "No, really. What kind of computer did you have?"

I remember Jiffy-Pop! I could never get it to work right...kind of like microwave popcorn. But then cooking it on the stove seems to be a lost art.

No cell phones either. Ever have your dad say "GET OFF THE PHONE! I'M WAITING FOR AN IMPORTANT CALL!"?
