Some parents NEVER owned their own house, wore Levis, set foot on a golf course, traveled out of the country or had a credit card.


Many parents still fall in this category.

My parents never drove me to soccer practice.


Check. Many people can't afford soccer practice.

We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11, but my grandparents had one before that.


Less common, and probably more voluntary than not.

We didn't have a car until I was 15.


I know a few people who have to live this way.

I never had a telephone in my room. The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line.


Don't know about party lines, but the rest of that rings true for some people.

Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies. Touching someone else's tongue with yours was called French kissing and they didn't do that in movies. I don't know what they did in French movies. French movies were dirty and we weren't allowed to see them.


Not true today, but 4 more years of Bush, and we might just be back to no more bush.

Anybody feelin' bummed yet? ;)
