Consider all the changes we have witnessed .....
We were born before television, before penicillin, before
polio shots, before frozen foods, plastics, Xerox, contact
lens, Frisbees and the PILL.
We were born before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser
beams, and ball point pens, and before panty hose,
dishwashers, clothes dryers, electric blankets, air
conditioners, drip-dry clothes and before man walked on the
moon. We got married first and then lived together. How
quaint can you be? In out time closets were for clothes, not
coming out of. Bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were
not Volkswagens. Designer Jeans were scheming girls named
Jean or Jeannie, and having a meaningful relationship meant
getting along with your cousin.
We thought fast food was what you ate during Lent, and outer
Space was the back of Loews Theatre. We were born before
house-husbands, gay rights, computer dating, and dual
careers. We never heard of FM radio, tape decks, electric
typewriters, artificial hearts, word processors, or guys
wearing ear rings. For us time sharing meant togetherness
and hardware and software weren't even words.
In 1939 "made in Japan" meant junk and the term "making out"
referred to how you did on your exam. Pizzas, MacDonalds and
instant coffee were unheard of. We hit the scene when there
were 5 and 10 cent stores, where you bought things for 5 and
10 cents. For a nickel you could ride on the street car,
make a phone call, but a Pepsi or enough stamps to mail one
letter or 2 post cards, and gas for your car (if you had
one) was 11 cents a gallon.
In our day GRASS was mowed, COKE was a cold drink, and POT
was something you cooked in. ROCK MUSIC was Grandma's
lullaby and AIDS were helpers in the Principal's office. We
were certainly not before the differences between the sexes
was discovered, but were surely before the sex change. And,
we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you
needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder we are so
confused and there is such a generation gap today.
BUT WE SURVIVED!!!
