To Those of Us Born 1925-1970

• We survived – being born to a mother who smoked and drank during pregnancy and took aspirin,
• medicine bottles with no childproof lids, locks on doors or cabinets,
• riding our bikes without a helmet,
• riding in cars with no car seats, seat belts or air bags,
• drinking water from a garden hose on a hot day, and sharing a pop with 4 friends from a bottle,
• eating cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon,
• drinking Kool-Aid made with real white sugar … and we weren’t overweight!

Why?

• Because we were always outside playing – until the streetlights came on,
• We had no Play Stations, Nintendos and X-Boxes, no video games, no 150 TV channel’s, no DVD’s, CD’s, cell phones, P.C.’s, no internet and chat room.
• We had FRIENDS!
• We fell out of trees, broke bones and no one sued anyone because of it.
• We ate worms, mud pies, and dirt.
• We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house, and if we got into trouble with the law, our parents actually sided with the police!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

If YOU are 1 of those born between 1925 and 1970 … CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with your kids and grandkids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents and grandparents [and GREATgrandparents] were. Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn’t it?
