shit like Garbage pale kids, THEY WOULD NEVER LET KIDS HAVE THOSE THESE DAYS...

Baseball and basketball cards were popular and actually worth something, taught us how to manage our money and how to bargin. Now they got some wack magic card games.

WAY BETTER MOVIES. when we were litteler, now they got corny disney movies.

Way better TV shows (G.I. Joes, M.A.S.K., Transformers etc..) now they got some WACK ass shows.

It was just way better growing up back in the day. always had to be playng with the homies down the street. always had to be outside finding something to do. dont matter what we always found something to do, Ditch Em, Wiffle Ball, build forts, basketball etc...it didnt matter we always were doing something and always had fun.

Also I am kinda jealous when i see those HUGE ass playgrounds at McDonalds. Why couldnt we of had those when we were little? i would of had so much fun in those. i remember the only place around my place was kinda far away at this burger king. it had a slide, a chain link net that you could climb up. and a wooden bridge that you could run across and a few other thangs.

boy those were the days
