It is funny how fast life goes! I was born in 1963 and when I was growing up, hearing stories of people who were born in the 40\u2019s and 50\u2019s seemed so foreign and \u201cold\u201d to me. Now, I am going to be turning 60 years old and, as a teacher, when my students hear that I was born in the 1960\u2019s, I am considered \u201cold.\u201d The truth is, a lot of thing that I did when I was growing up in the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s were experiences in which many children in today\u2019s world will never experience. The following is a list of things that out generation did\u2026that will probably never be done on a consistent level ever again.\n

A generation that walked to school and walked back.\n

A generation that did their homework alone to get outside as soon as possible to play in the street.\n

A generation that spent all their free time on the street.\n

A generation that played hide and seek when it was dark.\n

Riding our bikes everywhere!\n

A generation that made mud cakes.\n

A generation that collected sports cards.\n

Building our OWN tree houses.\n

A generation that found , washed, and sold empty coke bottles at a local grocery store for 5 cents each.\n

Exploring the woods with our friends.\n

A generation that made paper toys with our bare handes.\n

A generation who bought vinyl records to play on on record players.\n

A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings.\n

A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.\n

A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.\n

A generation whose parents where there.\n

A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so that parents didn\u2019t know that we were still awake.\n

A generation who would build tree forts in the trees.\n

A generation who had to go home once the street lights came on.\n

A generation who had to come home for dinner when they heard the dinner bell ring.\n

A generation that is passing and unfortunately, will never return!\n
