TO THOSE BORN IN THE 20's - 30's - 40's - 50's - 60's & 70's
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank when they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes
Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured
lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes we had no helmets, not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags and riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun.
We drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because...... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.!!!!!
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We didn't have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-Box, no video games at all, no 99 channels on Cable TV, no video tape movies, surround sound, cell phones, text messaging, personal computers, internet or internet chat rooms..... WE HAD FRIENDS.... and we went outside and actually found them.
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and worms we swallowed did not live in us forever.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out any eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't hadto learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They
actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers
and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned..... HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL !!
And YOU are one of them!!!!!!!!!!!
You might want to share this with others and your kids so they'll know how brave their parents were before lawyers and government officials regulated our lives for our own well-being.

GO FIGURE !! Ever notice how people tend to want the front of the bus; the back of the church; and the center of attention !!
W H Y !!!! 
1. Why do we press harder on the remote control when the batteries begin to die?
2. Why do banks charge you a fee for "insufficient funds" when they already know there's not enough money in your account?
3. Why doesn't glue stick in the bottle?
4. Why do they sterilize needles for "lethal injection"?
5. Why is it that if people supposedly evolved from apes that there's still apes around?
6. Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets??

YOUNG LOVE:
A six year old boy told his father he wanted to marry the little girl across the street. The father being modern and well-schooled in handling children hid his smile behind his hand.
"That's a serious step" he said. "Have you thought it out completely"?
"Yes", his young son answered. "We can spend one week in my room and the next week in her room. It's right across the street, so I can run home if I get scared of the dark".
"What about transportation" the father asked.
"I have my wagon, and we both have our tricycles" the boy answered. It seemed the boy had an answer to every question.
Finally in exasperation his dad asked, "What about babies? When you're married you're likely to have babies you know".
"We've thought about that too" the little boy replied. "We're not going to have babies because every time she lays an egg, I'm going to step on it" !!

WHY WE LOVE CHILDREN:
(OPINIONS)--> On the first day of school, a first-grader handed a note to the teacher. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents".
(KETCHUP) --> A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar when the phone rang, so she asked her 4 year old daughter to answer the phone. She answered the phone and after a moment replied, "I'm sorry but mommy can't come to the phone right now 'cause she's hitting the bottle"!!
(SCHOOL)--> A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time" she told her mother. "I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk" !!
(DRESSING UP)--> A little girl was watching her parents dressing up for a party. When she saw her dad putting on his tuxedo she anxiously warned him, "DADDY !! You shouldn't wear that suit" !! "And why not?", replied the dad. "But daddy, you know that suit always gives you a headache in the morning"!!!

Amish Efficiency !!
While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage the owner of which obviously had a sense of humour because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand-made sign......
"Energy efficient vehicle; Runs on oats and grass!! CAUTION: Do not step in exhaust.
