At 27 I hope you're not grown up! If you're like me it won't happen at 31 either!

27? 31? just mere kids by cracky!

Lol, im 24, so most of my friends including myself are fairly newly married. So yeah, its still "dude, what did you do?" if the wife is pregnant. Its all fun and games though, we are still happy for him, lol.

just to add to this

you say or do thing that your parents used too, and you thought back then was stupid and swore you won't ever say or do the samething.

I got this off the net awhile ago:

People over 35 should be dead. Why?

1. Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.
2. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, cabinets, ovens.
3. When we rode our bikes, we never wore helmets. Helmets were for when you jumped your bike off the roof of the house -fake plastic helmets, that is..
4. Hitchhiking was a way to get around.
5. As children, we rode in cars with no seatbelts or airbags.
6. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on warm days was a special treat.
7. We drank water from the garden hose, not bottles.
8. We ate cupcakes, bread and butter. Drank soda with real sugar, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing ball, not playing a video game of someone playing ball.
9. We shared one soft drink with 4 friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this...or got the coodies.
10. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode them down the hill, only to find out we forgot about the brakes.
11. After running into a solid tree 3 or 4 times we learned to solve the problem.
12. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back by the time the street lights came on, we were OK.
13. Concerned parents couldn't get ahold of us on our own cell phones.
14. We didn't have Playstations,x-boxes or some of us, even tvs. 4 channels on the tv, no VCR/DVR/DVD or internet chat rooms. We had actual friends.
15. If we didn't have any friends to play with, we just went to the local playground and found some.
16. We played dodge ball and sometimes you took the ball in the face...and it really hurt.
17. We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones, knocked out teeth. And there were never any lawsuits from these accidents.
18. There were such things as accidents that just happen.
19. Kids actually got into fights, but the worst thing that could happen was a black eye and a bruised ego. Maybe a loose tooth or two.
20. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms on dares.
21. We rode bikes or walked to a friends house, just to see what he was up to. We didn't dare use the phone at home.
22. Little League actaully had try outs. Not everyone made the team. You learned to deal with disappointment.
23. Some students weren't as smart as others, so kids would sometimes get held back a grade.
24. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. Sometimes the punishment under the law was waaaaay better than the whooping we would have gotten at home.

Man, people under 35 are just wimps....

I was scared I had grown up,good to know I haven't.

Man, people under 35 are just wimps....

We called them ChuckWagons, and if we thought, we would put a board on it to push up to the wheel to slow down.
We also rode everywhere on the package tray of the car, and though it was fun when dad would slam on the brakes, and throw us off on to the seat, and into the floorboard.
Also had a friend who loved to watch Batman, and at one party, he took the umbrella off the patio furniture, and jumped off the back porch with it in his hands. His granny loaded him up in the car, and drove him to the hospital to have his arm set!

People over 35 should be dead. Why?

1. Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.....hhhmmm I was too young to remember what mine was, but it was made before 1979 if that says anything...

2. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, cabinets, ovens....I'm sure there might've been child proof lids, but not doors or cabinets or ovens....

3. When we rode our bikes, we never wore helmets. Helmets were for when you jumped your bike off the roof of the house -fake plastic helmets, that is....I never wore a helmet when I rode my bike....circa 1988 thru 1996....I did wear a helmet when on a moped because 1. It was the law and 2. my dad made me do it....

4. Hitchhiking was a way to get around....I was raised to be independent....meaning if my car breaks down or I didn't have a ride I walked or rode a bicycle, or took a bus/taxi if I had the fare (usually didn't)....hitchhiking was/is for those who wern't taught there are no "free rides" in this world...not to mention bicycling/walking is good exercise too...

5. As children, we rode in cars with no seatbelts or airbags....my dad and my mom owned 1960's/early 1970's cars that had only the lap belt or the shoulder belt seperate and not together like you have now....but they didn't have air bags....

6. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on warm days was a special treat....got to do this a few times in life....before they decided it was unsafe to ride in the back of a truck...

7. We drank water from the garden hose, not bottles....yep I did this as we had well water at the house I grew up in....we didn't have chlorinated city water....

8. We ate cupcakes, bread and butter. Drank soda with real sugar, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing ball, not playing a video game of someone playing ball.....yep I didn't have any video games when I was a kid, the outdoors was as close as I got...and my exercise was in the form of riding my bicycle everywhere or walking...

9. We shared one soft drink with 4 friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this...or got the coodies....yep same here....

10. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode them down the hill, only to find out we forgot about the brakes....didn't ever have a go-kart growing up...had bicycles and mopeds....

11. After running into a solid tree 3 or 4 times we learned to solve the problem....never had this problem...

12. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back by the time the street lights came on, we were OK.....yep dad's curfew was 6 or 7 or before sundown...

13. Concerned parents couldn't get ahold of us on our own cell phones.....yep they didn't even have pagers yet....not until some years later....otherwise I had to be where I said I was going...

14. We didn't have Playstations,x-boxes or some of us, even tvs. 4 channels on the tv, no VCR/DVR/DVD or internet chat rooms. We had actual friends.....no playstations here, nintendo and sega genesis were big growing up but I never had one, I had to go to a friends to play the old 8 bit nintendo but that didn't happen often.....we had a VCR but I didn't use it...I had a TV of my own with like 3 or 4 channels but I didn't watch it much....DVD/DVR/internet wasn't even around yet....


15. If we didn't have any friends to play with, we just went to the local playground and found some....I usually was able to find someone to run around with.....

16. We played dodge ball and sometimes you took the ball in the face...and it really hurt....yep, except I wasn't much of a sports player to start with....

17. We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones, knocked out teeth. And there were never any lawsuits from these accidents.....never fell out of a tree or broke any bones or knock out any teeth....never did sue anyone either....have gotten cut plenty of times....

18. There were such things as accidents that just happen....try telling that to the parents....

19. Kids actually got into fights, but the worst thing that could happen was a black eye and a bruised ego. Maybe a loose tooth or two.....seen plenty of this and been in a few myself....by the time I got into h.s. if you got in a fight the security guards hauled you off to juvi....

20. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms on dares.....never did this.....

21. We rode bikes or walked to a friends house, just to see what he was up to. We didn't dare use the phone at home.....I did both....

22. Little League actaully had try outs. Not everyone made the team. You learned to deal with disappointment.....never did try out for little league....

23. Some students weren't as smart as others, so kids would sometimes get held back a grade.....I got held back 1st grade because school was all new to me and i didn't want or care to be there....everyone tried to help me but I didn't care....looking back if i could turn back time I'd actually try harder but I only hold myself to blame for this one....

24. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. Sometimes the punishment under the law was waaaaay better than the whooping we would have gotten at home.....well I never got in trouble with the law but then again my folks would've sided with thr cops if I was guilty of breaking the law....

Man, people under 35 are just wimps....

Well I'm 28, so i guess I must really be a wimp. :rolleyes:

Ref #26: Quiet!, I'm still looking.
