HOW FAR ?

                             How many remember those long drives we use to make with our families when we were children . The question we use to drive our parents with " ARE THERE YET? ". Or how about the "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU " that use to torture Our siblings with . Then there was every twenty minutes with the "I GOTTA GO TO THE BATHROOM " . Last but least is the " IS IT TIME TO EAT YET ? " .
                                  Now that we are adults we are probably  getting same from our children and grandchildren . We are realizing how annoying we were to our parents then . We do do get irritated with it though , but in the back of our minds we can't help but laugh at it . All the time remembering I did that .
                                   Here's another thing that we use to to do to our elders when where very young . " IN THE OLD DAYS DID YOU HAVE __________ ? " . Nothing can be more true now than ever now a days . Kids now a days can not even imagine not having all the technology at their finger tips , which we didn't have . All we had was our imagination as we grew up . Shoot when I was in school hi-tech was a Texas instrument calculator , which in most cases we were not allowed to have in school .
                                   We actually went outside to play with the neighborhood kids and found things to do . Yes at times we did get into trouble at times . This was also a time when every looked out for each other . You also had people actually calling our parents telling where they seen us and what we were doing .
                               Now a days  kids can not get along with out their hi-tech devises . I believe most children are missing out on an important part of growing up . Also this gave us our exercise we needed growing up . The pick baseball ,football ,kick ball ,basketball games . Or how about the games of tag or hide and go seek . We always found a way to entertain our self's .
                             We had so much fun growing up , doing things that seem so simple now .
