How did we survive our childhood?

 

If you were a kid in the 50's, 60's, 70's or even early 80's ..this is how we survived our childhood?

 

 




1.- When we were growing up we never wore seatbelts in the car, cars didn't have airbags...



2.- Riding on the back of a pick up truck was an adventure that we still remember!



3.- Our cribs were painted with bright colors (paint which was full of lead)



4.- We didn't have childproof medicine bottles, nor did our parents ever childproof our house

5.- When we rode our bikes we never wore a helmet.



6.- We would drink water from the faucet or from a hose in the backyard (not bottled water).

7.- We didn't have cell phones , so our parents were never able to reach us (awesome) .

10.- We would get scrapes, bruises, break bones , lose teeth, but we would never sue for these accidents. ,
11.- We would eat cake, , bread and butter, , drink sugary drinks, and we weren't overweight because we were always outside playing



12.- Four of us would share a drink, we would all drink from the same bottle and that wasn't gross nor would anyone get sick.



13.- We didn't have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X boxes, video games, cable TV with over 100 channels, VCR's, surround sound , cellular phones , computers , online chatrooms , instead we

would have tons of FRIENDS


16.- Some of us weren't as bright as others but when one would get left back that was no big deal. They would not get taken to a psychologist, nor did they ever suffer from dyslexia, hyperactivity, ADHD, ADD, etc, they would simply repeat the grade until they passed.

17.- We had freedom , mishaps, , successes, , responsibilities,

and we would learn to deal with them. The question is...How did we survive? and above all, to become the GREAT people that we are today? . Are you from one of these generations



If you are, then send this message to others from your same generation or to others who are younger so that they can see how we survived



They will probably say that we were very boring, but I believe that we were  VERY HAPPY CHILDREN

What is Love?

In a classroom there were several kids, when one of them asked the teacher:

- Teacher, what is LOVE?

The teacher felt the kid deserved the best answer she could give to that intelligent question. Since it was almost time for a break, she asked every student to go around the school and come back with something that would bring the feeling of love. The kids rushed out the classroom, and when they came back the teacher said:

- So, I want everybody to show what you brought to the whole class.

The first kid said:

- I brought this FLOWER, isn't it beautiful?

The second kid said:

- I brought this BUTTERFLY. Look at these colorful wings, I am gonna put it in my collection!

The third kid said:

- I brought this YOUNG BIRD. It had fallen with another one from the nest. Isn't it cute?

And the kids were showing what they brought. After almost everybody had showed their discoveries, the teacher noticed that there was a kid who had been quiet all the time. She was ashamed because she had not brought anything.
The teacher went to her and asked:

- My dear, why haven't you brought anything?

She then answered in an innocent voice:

- I am sorry teacher. I saw the FLOWER, and felt its perfume. I was going to take it, but I preferred to leave it so its perfume would last longer and others could feel it. I also saw the BUTTERFLY, soft, colorful. She seemed so happy that I did not want to disturb it. I also saw the YOUNG BIRD that had fallen between the leafs, but as I climbed the tree, I noticed the said look of it's mother, so I decided to return it to the nest. Therefore, I only bring with me: the perfume of the flower, the feeling of liberty of the butterfly and the gratefulness of the look of the little bird's mother. How can I show you what I brought?

The teacher thanked the young kid and gave her an A, because she was the only one that realized that we could only bring LOVE in our hearts.
