When I was growing up we didn’t have cell phones. Kids would sit around staring at their wall set telephone and if the battery died it leaked all over the rug. Times were simpler in the mid-1990s.
We posted jokes to real faces and books. Instead of selfies we sat in front of mirrors with sketchbooks for hours. Texting was called passing notes. Snapchat and Instagram were called remembering things. Bill Clinton was president. Our tweets were bird calls.
We punched each other, not a clock. We smoked cities, not weed. We sold lemonade, not vaccines. And if a kid got sick and died? Well that was OK because all his brothers had the same name.
