My first car cost $100. I mowed yards to get it. $4 a yard...my daughter wants something Japanese in about the $15,000 range.

I had to get up and change channels for my Dad and watch what he watched....now I pay $100/mo for cable and my kids watch whatever they want.

We ate what my mother cooked. ALL of it. Last night there were wrappers and to-go cups from three different fast-food places scattered around for my wife to clean up.

I remember (vaguely) as a teenager being roused every so often from my induced sleep under the coffee table by the clacking of the 8-track as it changed tracks...oops, got distracted there.
